Connecting a timer to a key switch detector
If you have defined an alarm detector as a key switch, then you can connect it to a timer. A
process is then only started when the detector is in the alarm state and the timer is within the
configured time.
This function is useful when combining video systems with an alarm system, for example.
If the contact for activating the alarm system is connected to a detector on the video system
(and this detector is defined as a key switch), then recording is only started when the alarm
system is activated and the system time is outside business hours.
All set key switches are listed in the corresponding key switch list (timer configuration page).
Exporting timers
The Export button can be used to transfer the set timers to several systems. In this way,
complex time spans or time links only need to be created once, and can then be imported to
other systems.
3.4.9 Activations (process links)
Activations are the most important element of the system configuration, and are used to
connect the set components (processes, cameras, archives etc.) to each other. Components
that are not linked here or are Off can never be started.
