Manually Set Up Privacy Switch Rules for 9.x Firmware

If you are complete with the previous page, and you did not use a config file for privacy rules, complete the following steps. In the case of multiple cameras, these steps should only be done for the main camera; the recipient cameras do not need rules built.

Update I/O Ports

1. Click on Settings in the bottom right hand corner of the window.

   

2. Click on System.

   

3. Click on I/O Ports.

   

4. On a camera with 4 I/O Ports, change I/O Port 4 to Output.
5. On a camera with 2 I/O Ports, change I/O Port 2 to Output.
6. For a camera who's ports do not alternate, simply rename the output "Output 2".
7. Click Save.
