Adding and Configuring Zones
A zone is a user-defined group of cameras that are triggered to record when
specific events occur. For example, you might create a Door 3 zone that
contains all cameras near Door 3. Then, whenever the door is opened, all
cameras in the Door 3 zone begin recording video. The Event History page in
the DigitalSENTRY client application allows you to search by zone for alarm
events. For example, you could search for all video recorded when Door 3 was
open by choosing the Door 3 zone as part of your search parameters. A zone
can contain any number of cameras.
To create a zone, right-click on the Zones directory in the directory tree and
select Add Zone. When the Add Zone window appears (see Figure 22), enter
the following information:
•
Zone Name— a name that describes the zone’s location or other
characteristic
•
Zone Description— any description identifying the zone
•
Alarm Information— contains the following options:
•
Active— activates the zone.
•
Report Alarm— automatically displays an alarm notification in
the Current Alarms window whenever an alarm event occurs
within the zone.
