Alarms and Events

Speed of alarm notification

After you have set events to “alarm”, and alarm hardware connected to the video unit is triggered, notification of the event is either:

•immediate. Your Multi-Media units are networked to the alarm station or an alarm session is in progress at the site where the alarm occurs. Note that units using dial-up connections monopolize an operator’s modem: it is not possible to run alarm sessions at many of these sites, at the same time. Until the alarm is rearmed, more occurrences of the event are ignored. However, you can record multiple occurrences of an event by silently logging them. See 6.8.2: Logging Events Silently.

•within the minute. Your Multi Administrator has set the video unit to “call” an alarm station, as soon as possible after an alarm. You are notified of the alarm whether or not an alarm session is in progress at that site. Should the alarm station be unavailable or busy, an attempt to call it back is made every minute until a connection to View is established. When more than one alarm station is assigned, they are polled in sequence.

- or -

•deferred. When a Multi-Media unit is not assigned to an alarm station, the unit “holds” alarms until you start an alarm session for the site.

Alarm doubling

When a Multi-Media unit has been setup to call back an alarm station, and you happen to be running an alarm session at the alarm station, an event at the site triggers a call and an alarm.
