The Master camera, on the other hand, will control the registered cameras
from time to time. This will ensure that the Master camera recognizes if a
registered Slave camera is missing.
If the Master camera should fail, the registered Slave cameras will automati-
cally switch to
armed
for security reasons. In addition, the alarm center can
be alerted that the Master camera has failed (e.g. by using MxViewer).
• Arming control in Slave mode
The
Slave Mode
is a special feature of the arming control when using a Mas-
ter camera. When using this option, all arming settings will be set
automatically to
From Master
(General Event Settings, Recording, Actions,
Messaging and Messaging 2).
• Arming using custom signals
In this case, the arming status of a MOBOTIX camera is controlled using the
Custom Signals CS1 and CS2 as well as the Logically Combined Signal
(CSL) of a Master camera. Activating the signals CS1 and CS2 will show fur-
ther parameters, which allow setting the conditions for arming the camera.
Arming can thus be controlled using the camera's signal input, a time table
profile and the status of the Master camera's signal input.
The CS2 signal can have different settings than CS1, allowing you to create a
second signal, which is totally independent of CS1.
The Logically Combined Signal (CSL) can be used to combine the settings
from CS1 and CS2. For example, you can use this signal to control the cam-
era's arming according to one of its time table profiles and the signal input
of a different MOBOTIX camera.
Example 1: Camera network with Master/Slave arming
• Requirement:
In order to control the camera's arming, the signal input of one MOBOTIX
camera at a central location (e.g. reception) has been connected to the key
switch of the alarm system.
The arming status of all other MOBOTIX cameras (Slave cameras) is sup-
posed to be controlled from this Master camera. When activating the alarm
system, all arming functions of the Slave cameras are supposed to be acti-
vated as well.

Note that you can call the camera from a touch-tone phone to change
the MOBOTIX camera's arming status. For additional information on
