12 Switcher Active at all times in armed and disarmed modes. No audible or communication alarms will be
created. When activated it can trigger the associated output for switching external equipment. If the
“Special Log” attribute is enabled for this input an SMS message will be sent each time the input is
activated.
Example: This kind of input type can be used to control CCTV. The concept is that when a switcher
input type is activated, there is an output associated with it following that input (the most used
solution is the use of output type – 0035). The switcher input is connected to a detector located next
to a CCTV camera and the output is connected to video recording / transmitting equipment. If the
detector is activated in armed or disarmed mode then the recording or transmission will start.
