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.
This user must have the following permissions to enable all the integration features:
• View Live Images
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.
If the integration is with FCWnx 7.0, 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 7.0, 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.
