Milestone Central 3.7 - Manual (Page 31)

Milestone XProtect Central 3.7; User’s Manual
Being able to snooze operational status information requires that the server, camera or other
device is represented on a map in the Client’s Map section (see page 33).
Do the following:
1. On the map, right-click the map indicator representing the
required server, camera, or other device. This will bring up a
menu.
2. From the menu, select Set Operational Status > Snooze... This
will open the Snooze window:
3. Select whether you want to snooze operational status
information for a certain period of time (for example five hours)
or until a specific point in time (for example until 2008-06-15
14:49:59.
• If snoozing for a certain period of time, select Snooze for, and specify the required
period of time in the associated fields
• If snoozing until a specific point in time, select Snooze until. In the associated field,
specify the exact point in time when you want snoozing to end.
Date and time is indicated in the following format: yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss. By
selecting a date or time element (for example the day element), then clicking the
field’s small up/down buttons, you are able to specify exact values. Alternatively,
simply overwrite the values.
4. Click Save.
When you snooze operational status information, the map indicator will turn yellow in order
to indicate that operational status information is snoozed for the time being. When the
selected time span ends, the indicator will automatically turn to the color (green or red)
reflecting the operational status of the selected server, camera or other device. See Map
Indicator Overview on page 34 for further information about the colors used in indicators.
Tip: The exact time at which snoozing will end will be displayed in the Client’s Information section:
For a server, the information will appear on the Server tab (see page 41). For a camera or other
device, the information will appear on the Device tab (see page 42).
Tip: In case you want to stop snoozing before the end of the snooze period, right-click the map
indicator representing the required server, camera, or other device, then select Set Operational
Status > Snooze end from the menu that appears.
Disabling New Alarms
It is possible to disable new alarms from a selected server, camera, or other device. This can be
useful in some situations where a large amount of irrelevant alarms would otherwise be triggered.
Example: An office is normally deserted at night, and an alarm based on detected motion on the
office camera has been configured in Milestone XProtect Central. However, tonight the office will be
used for a staff party, so in order not to overload security operators with irrelevant alarms, the
Milestone XProtect Central administrator disables alarms from the office camera until the staff
party is supposed to end.
