Alarm scenarios
An alarm scenario defines actions to be taken in case of an alarm. Scenario triggers
include:
user-defined
buttons
digital inputs
movement detection events
external sensors
Creating alarm scenarios
1. Click on
New
.
2. Enter a name for the alarm scenario in the
Name
field.
3. Click on
OK
.
4. Double-click to edit the alarm scenario or click on
Edit
.
Individual options of the alarm scenario are explained in detail below:
General
1. Optional: In the
General
dialog, change the name of the alarm scenario
(AS) and add a description of the alarm scenario.
2. By using the
Priority
selection list, you can assign different priorities to the
alarms.
Priority levels
There are ten priority levels (10 = low, 1 = high). High priority alarms always
displace alarms with low priority. If an alarm is terminated, the original layer is
recreated.
The differences in priority are as follows:
Low alarm priority (level 10–6)
High alarm priority (level 5–1)
Low alarm priority (level 10–6)
No
message window is displayed, only the action defined in the
Client
option (see
below) is performed.
If you have configured a low priority alarm, you can activate the
Finish alarm on
client when alarm is stopped on server
checkbox. This means that the alarm is
stopped on all involved clients and is removed from the
Alarm list
. Starting an
alarm (either via an alarm scenario or a user clicking on the
Button
) is not counted
as finishing the current alarm at this point.
When an alarm is finished, the next alarm is started automatically. Exception:
When postponing an alarm, no new alarm is started.
