time.

“Loading Dock Cameras.”
4. Select a Video Layout Type.
5. Select a camera for each cell of the layout.
6. Click [Accept Changes].
Link Cameras to Devices to Track Video of Events
Readers will generate events for access granted and access denied, so if a camera is linked to a reader,
users will have a visual record of each person who entered (or was denied entry) by that reader.
Doors will generate events if forced open, held open too long, and for momentary unlocking, so if a
camera is linked to a door, users will have a record of each access security incident.
Auxiliary inputs and outputs are optional devices connected to either the System Controller or an I/O
Expansion Module. To link a camera to these devices, use the Input or Output tab of the appropriate
System Controller.
1. Connect the System (via a TCP/IP network) to the DVR/NVR and camera.
a. See Add a DVR/NVR on page 34.
b. See Add a Video Camera on page 34.
2. Select System Administration > Devices.
3. Select the device from the hierarchical tree.
4. Select the appropriate camera from the Linked Camera list.
