DETEXI NVR 82 - 169
Configure Camera Inputs/Outputs
The range of external devices that can connect to a network video product’s input / output ports is almost
infinite. The basic rule is that any device that can toggle between an open and closed circuit can be
connected to a network camera or a video encoder. The main function of a network video product’s output
port is to trigger external devices, either automatically or by remote control from an operator or a software
application.
9 Network camera or video encoder inputs/outputs must be defined in the NVR Control Center —
Cameras — Cameras Settings for the NVR to be aware of external devices connected to the IP
device inputs/outputs.
1. Configure Camera Inputs
