IO Ports Window
The IO Ports window lets you configure various options for the two input and two output ports on the
IP camera. A state change of an input ports triggers a camera to take configured actions. Output ports
send signals that can control external devices, such as alarms or door switches.
The IP camera can trigger an action only when the input that is received on an input port comes from a
contact that is in a normally closed condition. The camera triggers the action when the contact changes
to an open condition.
