Alarm preview settings
Name Description
Show duplicate cameras
Select to display video from duplicate cameras several times in the
alarm preview. The alarm preview reflects what is selected in the
alarm list. Because you can select multiple alarms or events, video
from the same camera may appear several times in the alarm
preview if some of the selected alarms or events relate to the same
camera.
Show event source cameras
Select to display video (if any) from the camera for which the alarm
or event has been set up on the surveillance system server. We do
not recommend clearing this field.
Show related cameras
Select to display video from related cameras in the alarm preview.
You can display associated video from up to 16 related cameras for
a single alarm or event. You cannot determine the number of
related cameras in the XProtect Smart Client; the number may vary
from alarm to alarm, and is specified as part of the surveillance
system configuration.
Show overlay
Only relevant if using the alarm preview together with a plug-in
capable of displaying overlay information, such as lines tracking the
paths of moving objects, or similar. This is not standard functionality
in the XProtect Smart Client.
The Alarm list
The Alarm list displays incoming alarms by default, with the most recent alarms at the top of the list.
Alternatively, the alarm list can display a list of MIP plug-in and analytic events, for example, access
control or license plate recognition. To see a list of events, in setup mode, define that the alarm list
displays events (see "Alarm List settings" on page 151). Alarms or events that have video associated
with them are listed with an icon
. To preview a still image from the time of the alarm or event, place
your mouse over the icon. To view recorded video from the camera(s) associated with the alarm or
event, select the alarm or event in the list to display it in the Alarm preview.
You can decide how you want the list to display, you can filter the columns, you can drag the columns
to different positions, and you can right-click to show or hide certain columns.
The event list does not display system- or user-generated events, such as motion detection or archive
failure.
