If your alarm is based on an event like Server
Not Responding, only servers will be available
for selection in the Sources list. You can either
select individual servers, or all servers in one
go (by selecting the All servers box).
•
If your alarm is based on a camera-related
event like Motion Detected, cameras become
selectable. You can select individual cameras
under a specific server, select all cameras
under a server in one go (by selecting the All
sources box under the required server), or
even select all cameras under all servers in one
go (by selecting the All cameras box).
•
If your alarm is based on an event like External
Event (i.e. on input from buttons, sensors,
external data streams, etc.), inputs defined on
the servers become selectable. You can select
individual inputs or some/all inputs in one go.
6. Optionally, select one or more cameras in the Related
cameras list. The Related cameras list allows you to
select 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 (such as a door detector
registering that a door is being opened) as the Source
for your alarm. By defining one or more cameras
located near the door as Related cameras, you are able
to include the cameras’ recordings of the door area in
the alarm. Also, if the camera triggering the alarm is
unable to provide images, the alarm will use images
from the devices specified in Related cameras.
7. In the Enabled section, select when the alarm should
be enabled for triggering in Central. If you have
defined one or more time profiles, they will be
selectable from the list; otherwise select Always.
8. In the Alarm priority list, select a priority for the alarm.
Priorities can be used for sorting purposes.
