Alarms are Not Mapping Correctly
Avigilon alarms are mapped to the wrong Velocity alarms, even though the names for 
both alarms are correct. 
Check the following:
•
Are you expecting Velocity alarms to display their customized descriptions or 
their predefined names?
o
If you are expecting to see the alarms’ customized descriptions, make 
sure the Velocity software is set to display event level description 
customizations and the Gateway configuration application is set to use 
customized descriptions. See Velocity Alarm Configuration on page 8 
and Mapping Alarms on page 11 for more information.
o
If you are expecting to see the alarm’s predefined names, make sure 
the customized description options have not been enabled.
•
Are there any typos in the parameter names?
o
If you had to specify parameters for the alarm mappings, check if the 
parameters contain any spelling errors or typos and remember that the 
values are case sensitive. The alarms would map if the parameters were 
entered incorrectly but the alarm may not be triggered because the 
alarms will be looking for a device that may not exist.
