| − | The privacy switch is a customizable solution for placing the cameras connected to the Valt system in privacy mode. The instructions below will outline how to configure a privacy switch that will stay illuminated while the switch is in the off position. Flipping the switch to the on position will extinguish the light and engage privacy mode. The switch and LED are independent and the behavior can be customized. See the variations section at the bottom of this article for more information.
| |
| | | | |
| − | These instruction are written for use with a camera with 4 IO ports. Port 1 and 2 are reserved for use with the Valt Recording Start/Stop button.

| − | The privacy switch should be usable with any axis camera with at least one free input and one free output. The Camera must be running firmware version 5.50 or higher. To use with a camera that does not have 4 I/O ports, you will need to adjust the event rules.

| − | =Multiple Cameras=
| |
| − | A single privacy switch can be used to trigger privacy mode on multiple cameras. In order to accomplish this, each camera must be configured and then rules must be created in the camera attached to the switch to trigger privacy mode on the other cameras. These rules are similar to the rules used with the primary camera, but vary slightly. Follow the steps below for each additional camera that you wish to include on the privacy switch.
