Privacy Switch
The Privacy switch is used to enable/disable live monitoring in a room, regardless of permissions.The privacy switch interfaces directly to the camera(s) within the room. A single privacy switch can control any number of cameras within a room.
When privacy mode is enabled within a room, it will mask the video and mute the audio for all cameras within the room.
✎If privacy mode is enabled before or while a recording is taking place, this will not interrupt the recording, and the recording will instead record masked video/muted audio for the duration that the privacy mode was enabled for.

Start/Stop Button
One option capable of starting and/or stopping a recording is to use a simple momentary contact button, integrated into the button with an LED that will also be lit to indicate when a recording is active. Buttons are tied to rooms within the software, while from an author's perspective, each button is also assigned an author (when the button is pressed it will use this user to author the recording).
IVS sells buttons that have been validated to work with our software with an integrated LED (shown below). IVS offers two LED options for recording indication: Red (shown below) and Blue.
- Shows the button when a recording is not active for the associated room.
- Shows the button when a recording is active for the associated room.
✎Please see our Start/Stop Button Guide for additional information regarding installing or configuring Start/Stop Buttons.
