Time profiles for alarms

Alarms can be based on time profiles (for alarms) (see "Add a time profile (for alarms)" on page 183).

Time profiles for Alarms are periods of time to use when you create alarm definitions. You can, for

example, create a time profile for alarms covering the period from 2.30 PM till 3.30 PM on Mondays

and use that time profile to make sure that certain alarm definitions are only enabled within this period

of time.

Alarms and XProtect Central

To a large extent, the Alarms feature covers the same functionality as XProtect Central.

However, configuration of former XProtect Central functionality is now included in the Alarms feature.

XProtect Central was an independent product consisting of two parts: a dedicated server and a

number of dedicated clients. Alarms, on the other hand, is an integrated part of your system. This

means that much configuration needed in XProtect Central has become redundant with the

introduction of Alarms. Client-wise, the Alarms feature uses XProtect Smart Client. However, you must

still configure the features Alarms, Time Profiles (for Alarms) and General Settings in the Management

Application. These features are very similar to XProtect Central. You cannot reuse old alarm and map

definitions from XProtect Central. You must redefine your alarms and maps definitions in the Alarms

feature.

Alarms appear in the alarm list in XProtect Smart Client. Here, you can view and manage alarms to

ease overview and to delegate and handle alarms. You can, for example reassign alarm, change their

status or comment on alarms.

You can integrate alarms with the map functionality (see "About maps" on page 182). The Alarms

feature is a powerful monitoring tool, providing instant overview of alarms and possible technical

problems.

About maps

With maps as an integrated part of alarms, you get a physical overview of your surveillance system:

with the possibility to assign cameras to a map, you can always tell where alarms originate, which

cameras are placed where, and in what direction are they pointing. Also, you can use maps to

navigate from large perspectives to detailed perspectives, and vice versa: for example, a state map

can have hot zones (small icons on the map) that point to more detailed maps of cities,

neighborhoods, streets, floor plans, and so on.

Example: Hierarchy of maps

1 2 ... 177 178 179 180 181 182 183 184 185 186 187 ... 217 218
