Q: How do I edit Local Output settings (HMDI) on camera?

Some cameras have an HDMI output that you can hook up directly to a monitor, such as DS-2CD2185G0-IMS or DS-2CD2125G0-IMS.

There is no "Menu Output" settings like an NVR/DVR that has an HMDI output, you will need to configure the settings for local output in the "Image" settings.

Under Image go to "Other" then "Local Output" to turn the output on and change what resolution that it is using. If you are using the 1080p output on a lower resolution monitor, it will likely not show up at all, and it may seem like it isn't working.
