A supervisor station alarm console can display video associated with an alarm that was generated at a remote station. In order to use this feature, you need to have a supervisor station that is licensed for the remote video feature. The remote station in this scenario should be configured for video alarms and must be set to route alarms to the supervisor using a ‟station recipient” component in the alarm service. In addition, the supervisor and the remote station must have a ‟RemoteVideoService” component under their Services node. When properly configured, the supervisor alarm console displays any remote video alarm, annotated with the video icon. You can review the remote alarm video by clicking the Remote Video button.
