6.5.2.1
External Input Active or Inactive
Each illuminator has an external input that can be connected to any compatible device such
as a PIR or switch. When the device connected to the lamp changes the state of its output
the illuminator will detect this and will send the alarm to the XProtect system, an example of
this would be a PIR detecting movement. This alarm raised from the illuminator can raise
any event in the Milestone system, and in turn trigger other network devices connected to
the system, or perform a multitude of user defined actions - e.g. send email
6.5.2.2
Photocell Day or Night
Each illuminator has an integrated photocell that detects the ambient light around it. At a lux
threshold specified by the illuminator it will determine whether it is day or night. When this
changes the illuminator will send the alarm to the XProtect system. Again, this alarm can
raise any system event.
See section 8.1 for various configuration examples.
