Related cameras

Select up to 15 cameras to include in the alarm definition even if
they are not themselves triggering the alarm. This can be relevant,
for example, if you have selected an external event message (such
as a door being opened) as the source of your alarm. By defining
one or more cameras near the door, you can attach the cameras'
recordings of the incident to the alarm.

Client's Alarm Manager.
