Milestone XProtect 3.7; Administrator’s Manual
IMPORTANT: The action you select will be performed on the XProtect Central Server.
Therefore all alarms generated based on the selected alarm definition will be affected, even
though you—due to filtering or other limitations—may not see all the alarms in your Client’s
Alarm Overview section.
5. Click OK. If you selected the delete option in the previous step, the alarms will be deleted
permanently. You will therefore be asked to confirm that you want to delete the alarms.
Alarm Time Profiles
Time profiles are periods of time defined in XProtect Central. Once time profiles are defined, you
can use them when defining new alarms or editing existing alarm definitions. For example, you can
create a time profile which covers the period from 14.30 to 15.30 on Mondays, and then use the
time profile to make sure that certain alarm definitions in XProtect Central are only enabled within
the period of time covered by the time profile.
Time profiles are highly flexible: they can be based on one or more single periods of time, on one
or more recurring periods of time, or a combination of single and recurring times. Many users will
be familiar with the concepts of single and recurring time periods from calendar applications, such
as the one in Microsoft Outlook ® .
IMPORTANT: Time profiles always apply in the XProtect Central Server’s local time.
Defining a New Time Profile
1. In the Client’s Navigation section, right-click Alarm time profiles, then select New Time
Profile... This will open the Time Profile window:
Time and date format may be different on your system
2. In the Time Profile window, type a name for the new time profile in the Name field.
Optionally, type a description of the new time profile in the Description field.
3. In the Time Profile window’s calendar, select either the Day View, Week View, or Month
View tab, then right-click inside the calendar and select either Add Single Time..., or Add
Recurring Time...
