Setting an Alarm

Default

By default, events are not set to trigger alarms. Setting events to trigger alarms is an option. Alternatively, events can be silently logged, for administrative purposes.

Fig. 10–14. Once Acknowledged, Alarms Are Entered into the Multi Db.

To Set 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 appear. Select a smaller 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. For Motion detection settings, see Motion Detection, p. 116.

3.To set the event to trigger an alarm, click the Alarm checkbox next to the event, so that it shows a checkmark. For a Customer-device event, on the Serial Devices tab, click Update after clicking an Alarm or Log checkbox.

4.You have the option of having the event also entered into the log. To do so, click the Log checkbox so that it shows a checkmark.
