•In the Device List, right-click the device you want to start the script from.
•Right-click the device icon for the destination device you want to start the script from.
2. In the pop-up menu, click Run Script, and then select the desired script from the submenu. The selected script will run, and an entry for the
script appears in the Session Manager.
Stop: To stop a script, use one of the following methods:
•Click the script entry in the Session Manager, and then click the Stop button on the Session Manager tool bar.
•Open the pop-up menu (using one of the methods described in step 1, above) and then click Stop Scripts. This stops all scripts started from
that destination device or window.

AUXILIARIES
Figure 42. Device Control Dialog Box - Auxiliaries Tab
Pelco PTZ cameras can support auxiliary features, such as a wiper or lights, which are physically connected to auxiliary points on the camera. Each
camera can have a limited number of auxiliaries. The maximum number depends on the camera model.
Auxiliaries are listed on the Auxiliaries tab of the Device Control dialog box. By default, auxiliaries are named Auxiliaryi, where i is the auxiliary’s
number. Your system administrator can change an auxiliary’s name to something more meaningful.
