CONFIGURE THE PROPERTIES TAB
Figure 70. Properties Tab for DX8000 Camera
Use the Properties tab to configure the animation settings of the DX8000 camera icon viewed on maps in the VMX300(-E) client. Click Choose
next to each condition to select the color settings for that condition. Note that you can configure a different color setting for each camera.
Unknown state: When the camera is not communicating normally with the recorder, the icon is the color specified here.
Normal state: When the camera is communicating normally with the recorder, the icon is the color specified here.
Alarm state: When the camera’s Alarm write property equals True, the icon changes to the color specified here. If you change either Color 1
or Color 2, then the icon flashes alternately between the two colors when the camera is in the alarm state. Note, however, that
flashing icons can increase the CPU workload.
CONFIGURE THE AUXILIARIES TAB
Figure 71. Auxiliaries Tab for DX8000 Camera
Auxiliary names appear in the VMX300(-E) client, where auxiliaries are controlled, and also appear in scripts, where they are used to refer to the
auxiliary. When you rename an auxiliary, the write property for that auxiliary is changed to the name you have specified.
Example: You might rename an auxiliary that controls a camera’s wiper to “Wiper,” and then use it in a script as follows:
SET Camera1.Wiper = On FOR 3.
To rename an auxiliary, click the box next to the auxiliary you want to rename, and then type the new name. No two auxiliary names can be the
same for a particular camera, but the same auxiliary name can be used for different cameras. Auxiliary names can include any letter, digit, or
special character, with the exception of single and double quotation marks. Auxiliary names are not case sensitive.
