Push-Button activation of the Privacy Mode
In the latest versions of LearningSpace, Privacy mode can be controlled by using a Push button within the physical rooms. Once a Push-button has been connected to a DAK (Digital Audio Kit) physically, and the DAK is configured on the Cameras tab, it can be selected as a
- Record control device
- Privacy control device
from the following two drop-downs of the Room Settings pop-up:
A Push-button hardware can only be assigned to a room once. Once assigned, it cannot be selected from the other drop-down any longer - otherwise the following error message comes up:
One Push-button can only be added to one room within the system.
By simply pushing the Push-button installed in the room, Privacy mode can be activated or turned off.
- In case two DAKs are being used with two Push buttons (one DAK/one Push button) → record control and privacy control can be used simultaneously.
- By utilizing only one DAK device and one Push button → either record or privacy control can be managed by the Push button.
Light indication colors for the Privacy control button:
White: Button is ready to use, idle
Blue: Request is sent, waiting for response
Pink: Privacy mode is active
Black: No camera in the room
