Add Alarm Output to Area

Add Alarm Output to Area

You can add alarm outputs to areas for the current site for management. When the alarm or event linked with the alarm output is detected, the alarm devices (e.g., the siren, alarm lamp, etc.) connected with alarm output will make actions. For example, when receiving the alarm out signal from the system, the alarm lamp will flash.

Devices need to be added to the HikCentral Professional for area management. Refer to Manage Resource for detailed configuration about adding devices.
