Setting an Event to Report an Alarm
1. Start a Maintenance Session for the Rapid Eye site. Please wait until the
System
Operational
message appears.
2. Depending on the type of event that you want to set, either:
• Click the Events tab. More tabs will appear. Select a tab (Session, System, and
so on) that lists the event that is to be set as an alarm.
• Click the Serial Devices tab. Select a device and one of its events.
• Click the Video tab. See Motion Detection , page 127 , to set up motion detection.
3. To set the event to trigger an alarm, select the Alarm checkbox next to the event, so
that it shows a checkmark. For a Customer-device event, click Update on the Serial
Devices tab after selecting an Alarm or Log checkbox.
4. You also have the option of having the event entered into the log. To do so, select the
Log checkbox so that it shows a checkmark.
Who Can Set Alarms?
To set events as alarms and/or to be logged, two items must be included in of the user’s
account rights:
• The Modify configuration right, and
• Access to the site to be modified (see Rights of User Accounts on page 196 ).
Who Can Receive Alarms?
A different right is needed to use an Alarm session. A View operator needs a Multi SA to:
• Add the Process alarms right to the operator’s user account. This enables a View
operator to receive, view, acknowledge and rearm alarms. See
Right to Use
Maintenance on page 198 .
• Grant the operator(s) access to the site(s).
