Triggering event
This first list shows both system-related events and events from
plug-ins (for example access control systems or similar).
From the second list, select the event message to use when the
alarm is triggered.
Sources
Select which cameras and/or other devices the event should
originate from in order to trigger the alarm. Plug-in defined sources,
for example license plate recognition, access control systems and
MIP-plugins appear in the list if installed.
Your options depend upon which type of event you have selected.
Time profile
If you select Time profile, you must select when the alarm should
be enabled for triggering. If you have not defined alarm time profiles
(see "Add a time profile (for alarms)" on page 183), you will only be
able to select Always. If you have defined one or more time
profiles, they will be selectable from this list.
