Alarms and Events

Options

Run live alarm session on alarm. Running a live session while an alarm is pending causes live video of all cameras at a site to be displayed full screen. Receiving an alarm during an alarm session does not open a Live-alarmed session. See 6.2: Live-alarmed Session.

Beep on alarms. Makes the operator’s PC produce and repeat a short, pitched, electronic tone when a Multi-Media unit reports an alarm. An operator can use this feature even if the PC does not have speakers or a sound card. The large alarm bell icon still vibrates when Beep… is disabled.

Launch retrieval on selection from alarm list. During alive-alarmed session, it may be more interesting for the operator to retrieve video from the time of the event, than to view live video from the site. The option enables you to start a retrieval session from the time of the alarm, by selecting an alarm from the alarm list in the live alarmed session. See figure 58. The option can be disabled by removing the checkmark.

Automatically acknowledge (ACK) alarms. During a live-alarmed session, makes the small alarm bell button acknowledge all alarms from that site. See figure 58. The small alarm bell button is not the large alarm bell icon, illustrated in figure 55; clicking the large icon only stops the beeping.

Fig. 58. Live Alarmed toolbar detail. For context, see figure 59.

Set Limit of callbacks to n. The “n” is a number from 1 to 16; the maximum number of units from which callbacks are accepted before more are turned away to callback other alarm stations.
