Automatically Display

Alarms In Live View

When enabled, the live camera feed corresponding to an alarm event will automatically be displayed
in the Live Viewer window. If the live view layout is full, the camera feed will replace another that
does not currently have an alarm event. If the site is not connected, it will reconnect and display the
live camera feed.

Maximum Alarm Search

Records

Set the maximum number of alarms to display in the Server Alarms window. When the number of
alarms to display in the Server Alarms window is reached, oldest alarms will be removed from the
window as new alarms are received. The range for this setting is 500 - 100,000; setting this number
too high can cause performance issues on systems.
