Adding an Integration User in Avigilon
To protect the security of the Avigilon Control Center Server, add a user to the Avigilon
software specifically for connecting to the integration. See the Avigilon Control Center
Client User Guide for details about how to add users.

The Avigilon FCWnx integration user name and password is required to add Avigilon
Servers to the Avigilon FCWnx Gateway configuration application.
FCWnx Alarm Configuration
Alarms in FCWnx are automatically created when controllers and devices are added to
the FCWnx network. If required, alarms can be configured to meet your needs. See the
alarms configuration section in the Facility Commander Wnx User Manual for more
information.
You can also create API alarms to allow for bidirectional alarm monitoring with the Avigilon
Control Center. Non-API alarms can only be triggered through FCWnx.
Avigilon Alarm Configuration
Alarms are manually created in the Avigilon Control Center Client software. Create the
Avigilon alarms you want mapped to the alarms in the FCWnx software, then assign the
required cameras and settings for the alarm.
If you are configuring the integration to use API alarms in FCWnx 7.7, you can select any
Alarm Trigger Source in step 4 and are not limited to External Software Events. See the
Avigilon Control Center Client User Guide for more information on how to configure other
types of alarms.
