Figure 104: Sensor enabled
Note: If Enabled is not selected, the sensor cannot function as an event trigger and will
not appear in client applications.
Note: Sensors that are not physically connected to the MVG 400 but are enabled may
generate false alarms.
3. Fill in the fields as follows:
Field Description
Sensor Name /
Activator Name
Assign a name to the device (up to 20 characters). Each device
must have a different name. The names are used when you
view the video via a remote client such as the MultiClient and in
e-mail and SMS notifications.
Polarity
(Sensors only)
Select Reverse if the normal, inactive state of the sensor is
closed – if it is activated from on to off.
Note: Sensors are either designed to activate from “off to on”
(normally open, or standard polarity) or from “on to off”
(normally closed, or “reverse polarity”) when an event occurs.
Consult the device’s manual to determine its normal state.
Note: This field is equivalent to the "Normal Status" field for
activators.
Normal status
(Activators only)
Select the normal, inactive state of the activator.
Note: Activators are either designed to activate from “off to on”
(normally open) or from “on to off” (normally closed) when an
event occurs. Consult the device’s manual to determine its
normal state.
Note: This field is equivalent to the "Polarity" field for sensors.
