Arming |
When you deactivate arming permanently or temporarily, events will continue to be recognized (and highlighted in the image symbols) but they will not be processed any further. Consequently, the images are not stored, the event counter is not incremented and neither actions nor messages are executed.

Time Table |
In order to arm the camera in a time-controlled manner, you need to select a Time Table Profile. You need to enable arming. The time table profile can also be combined with arming via signal-input. |

Source |
The custom signals CS1, CS2 and CSL are states maintained on the local camera that can be configured to update themselves from various sources and that can then be fed as additional inputs into the camera's arming controls for Main Event Arming, Recording, Actions, Messaging and Messaging 2. The possible input sources for CS1 and CS2 are:
The possible input sources for CSL, the so-called logically combined custom signal, are as follows:
Another important property of the custom signals is the fact that they can also be distributed among a set of networked cameras using the Master/Slave feature. |
