2.5.5 SCHEDULING ALARM EVENTS
There are three types of Alarm Events:
ALARM EVENT: This option logs the Alarm Events on the local server.
CENTRAL STATION: This option sends a Map Alarm to Central Station software such as DW VMS Multi-Site Management.
EMERGENCY AGENT: This option sends the Alarm Event to the Emergency Agent software.
Motion can be designated as an alarm event, though often motion does not need to be treated as an Alarm Event. For example, during work
hours, motion that occurs is expected and should not be treated as an alarm. However, after business hours, any motion that occurs should be
treated as an alarm.
