The Actions dialog governs how the camera will react to certain events.
In the Signal Out Action dialog, you can also configure user-defined events.
In addition, you can define special Messages in the Messaging and Messaging 2 dialogs. You may select different events in each dialog to send different messages for these events.
When you first install your camera, it recognizes all events since the factory default setting All has been set.
