LOGICAL CAMERA NUMBERS
A logical number is a user-selectable, variable number, and is always associated with an
actual physical input. A physical input number represents an actual BNC input on the rear
panel of the CM6800 and is a fixed number. Within the programming screens and at the
operator level the logical number is the number used for reference.
Example of a logical numbering plan:
Physical input number Location in store Logical number
Cameras 1-5 First floor 11-15
Cameras 6-12 Second floor 21-27
Use the Logical Camera screen to assign new logical numbers as appropriate for your
system.

PHY: The physical input number represents an actual BNC input on the rear
panel of the CM6800 and cannot be changed.
LOG: Assign a valid logical number (0001-9998) to each physical camera
input. A valid number is any number from 0001 to 9998 that has not
already been assigned to a physical camera input.
Example: In Figure 43, physical camera input 22 is assigned a
logical number of 0501. To view this camera an operator
will do the following:
1. Enter 501.
2. Press the CAM key.
Using the new logical camera number:
If you change a logical camera number in the programming menus, you cannot control the
camera until you select the camera number from the keyboard:
1. Enter the new logical camera number.
2. Press the CAM key.
The CM6800 automatically updates all other usages of the logical camera number, such as
in sequences and macros.
