This document does not contain any export-controlled information.
Advanced Configuration
The illustration at the right shows the default settings
for the input signal channel, Input/Output 1.
• The Label setting can be changed to reflect more
specific alarm information which can then appear in
VMS systems such as FLIR Latitude.
• The GPIO Name determines the circuit point for
the GPIO driver and must not be changed.
• Set GPIO Logic to Negative for a normally open switch signal (circuit closes for alarm), Set
GPIO Logic to Positive for a normally closed switch signal (circuit opens for alarm).
Click on the Save button to save any changed settings. The changes will not take effect until the
server is stopped and started.
Input/Output 2 and Input/Output 3 are control signals for the camera heater circuits. The Heater
output signal denotes when the De-Ice button on the Live Video page is activated. The Defog input
signal denotes when the heater can be run at full power. These two signals perform internal
functions and should not be changed.
Refer to the following sections for a description of how to combine the GPIO inputs and outputs with
other alarms. For example, the camera can send the output signal when there is a Video Analytics
alarm. Similarly, the camera can save an image snapshot when there is an input. These associations
are configured with the Alarm Manager module described in Alarm Manager, pg. 62.
Modules Menu
This section describes the On Screen Display (OSD) page, and Alarm Manager page. With the
settings on the OSD page, it is possible to display text information (for example, camera name, date/
time, etc.) as an overlay on the video. The OSD text will appear on the IP video streams as well as
the analog video output. Use the Alarm Manager page to define rules for camera alarms from Video
Analytics or GPIO.
On Screen Display: Use the OSD page to turn on and configure the On Screen Display (OSD)
options. It may be desirable to display text information (such as the name of the camera or the date/
