Video alarm-related procedures

You have two choices regarding reporting video alarms: You may choose to have them appear on the standard alarm console. Or, you may configure video alarms to appear on a separate video alarm console, which may include a live video feed. This console handles only alarms created where a video camera is present. The advantage of this choice is that you can see what is happening at the location that is responsible for the alarm. As you acknowledge a video alarm, the live video feed switches to the next unacknowledged alarm. You can also playback recorded video. This chapter explains how to configure a separate video alarm console.

To set up the video alarm console you need:

  • The VideoAlarmConfigurationService component under the Services node in the Nav tree.
  • The VideoAlarmConsoleRecipient component under the AlarmService node in the Nav tree.

Each service provides properties to configure.
