LED Settings

Parameter Description
LED Main Switch The main switch activates or deactivates all LEDs of the camera.
Note: If deactivated, the LEDs blink only when the camera is starting. Beyond that, the LEDs will not signal anything.
Set all LEDs

You can assign the same function to all LEDs:

Differently Select this option to assign different functions to the the LEDs.
Standard Resets all LEDs to the factory defaults.
Other Options Sets all LEDs at once to the desired LED signal.

All other options correspond to the functions that you can select for the individual LEDs. For more detailed information, see the LED Signals help page.

Note: The selected settings may be overruled temporarily by certain applications, e.g. while installing a software update.

LED Signals

You can assign a different signaling function to every LED:

Signal Meaning
on The LED is on without interruption.
Off

The LED's signal feature is deactivated during regular operation.

Note: This setting will be ignored during camera startup.
Web Access The LED lights up when the camera's web server is being accessed.
Accessing Live Images The LED lights up when the camera's live image is being accessed.
Blink The LED blinks slowly.
Flash The LED blinks rapidly.
event The LED signals events as set by the LEDs parameter in the General Event Settings dialog (you may have to click More to display this parameter).
Left button The LED lights up when you press the L key on the camera's front.
Right button The LED lights up when you press the R key on the camera's front.
Networking The LED signals activity on the Ethernet interface.
Camera The LED shows the activity of the image sensors. Slow blinking indicates long exposure times.
VoIP/ISDN

The LED signals activity on the ISDN interface or a VoIP connection.

LED Signals When in VoIP Mode:

  • SIP configured: VoIP/ISDN LED flashes at 1 Hz.
  • Camera successfully registered with SIP server: VoIP/ISDN LED flashes at 2 Hz.
  • Error: VoIP/ISDN LED blinks (about 250 msec on/off).

If a voice connection has been established via the VoIP (SIP) or ISDN interfaces, the LEDs signal the following:

  • Listen or Speak: VoIP/ISDN LED is lit permanently.
  • Intercom: The lower three LEDs are lit if the camera's speaker is active ("speaking" as seen by the remote camera operator). If the camera microphone is active, the upper three LEDs are lit ("listening").
PIR The LED indicates if an event has been triggered by the passive infrared detector.
Signal Input The LED lights up when the signal input is active.
Signal output The LED lights up when the signal output is active.
Serial interface The LED signals activity on the serial (RS232) interface.

Note: The option at the top is always the default option that is used if Set all LEDs has been set to Default.

Other Settings

PIR Threshold

Define the trigger level for the passive infrared detector.

Note: Activate the level meter in the Text and Display Settings dialog and select PIR Detector as source. The level meter helps you find the best possible trigger level for your application.

Storing the Configuration

Click on the Set button to activate your settings and to save them until the next reboot of the camera.

Click on the Close button to close the dialog. While closing the dialog, the system checks the entire configuration for changes. If changes are detected, you will be asked if you would like to store the entire configuration permanently.
