3. Set the alarm Outputs from the Outputs Setup menu:
a. Set Output 5 to OSD.
b. Set Output 6 to Transmit.
c. Set Output 7 to Shot 5.

Example 3: Advanced Alarm Rule using AutoTrack
The following example explains how to set an alarm rule that moves the camera to a preset
position and then activates the AutoTrack feature to track an intruder after an alarm is
triggered. This example uses the Configuration Tool for Imaging Devices (CTFID) software
tool. Refer to the Configuration Tool for Imaging Devices User Guide, available at
www.boschsecurity.com.
