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. To use with a camera that does not have 4 I/O ports, you will need to adjust the event rules.
