Name Description
Related cameras
Select (a maximum of 15) cameras for inclusion in the alarm
definition even though 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
could attach the cameras' recordings of the incident to the alarm.
Related map
Select a map to associate with the alarm definition.
The selected map is automatically be shown in XProtect Smart
Client whenever the alarm is listed. This might help you to quicker
identify the physical location of the alarm.
Initial alarm owner
Select a default user responsible for the alarm. You can only select
from users allowed to view all cameras and/or other devices
selected as source(s) for the event causing the alarm.
Initial alarm priority
Select a priority (High, Medium or Low) for the alarm. Priorities can
be used for sorting purposes and workflow control in the Smart
Client.
Initial alarm category
Select a category to which the alarm should initially be assigned.
This could be, for example, Building01, Burglary, ElevatorEast or
similar, depending on which categories have been defined.
Event triggered by alarm
Define an event to be triggered by the alarm in the Smart Client (if
needed).
Auto-close alarm
Select if the alarm should automatically be closed upon a particular
event. This is possible for alarms triggered by some (but not all)
events.
