On the Web Client, you can set rules to detect events and alarms, and set linkage actions for notification. The detailed information of the events and alarms can be received and checked via the Mobile Client.
Event is the signal that resource (e.g., device, camera, server) sends when something occurs. The platform can receive and record events for checking, and can also trigger a series of linkage actions for notification. The event can also trigger an alarm for further notification and linkage actions (such as alarm recipients and pop-up window). You can check the event related video and captured pictures if you set the recording and capturing as event linkages.
The rule of an event includes four elements, namely, "event source" (i.e., the device which detects the event), "triggering event" (the specified event type), "what to do" (linkage actions after this event is detected), and "when" (during the specified time period, the linkage actions can be triggered).
Alarm is used to notify security personnel of the particular situation which helps handle the situation promptly. Alarm can trigger a series of linkage actions (e.g., popping up window, showing the alarm details) for notification and alarm handling. You can check the received real-time alarm information and search for history alarms.
The rule of an alarm includes six elements, namely, "alarm source" (i.e., the device which detects the triggering event), "triggering event" (the specified event type occurred on the alarm source and triggers the alarm), "when" (during the specified time period, the alarm can be triggered), "recipient" (the user on the platform who can receive this alarm), "priority" (the importance or urgency of this alarm), and "what to do" (linkage actions after this alarm is triggered).
An event's linkage actions (such as recording and capturing) are used to record the event details and trigger basic actions (such as linking access point to lock or unlock, triggering alarm output, and sending email).
An alarm's linkage actions (such as popping up an alarm window, displaying on the smart wall, and audible warning) are used to record the alarm details and provide recipients multiple ways to view the alarm information for alarm acknowledgment and handling.
The event can be defined as intrusion ("triggering event") which happens in the bank vault and be detected by the camera mounted in the bank vault ("event source") on weekend ("when"), and triggers the camera to start recording ("what to do") once happened.
The alarm can be defined as intrusion ("triggering event") which happens in the bank vault and be detected by the camera mounted in the bank vault ("alarm source") on weekend ("when"), and triggers the camera to start recording ("what to do") once happened. This alarm is marked as High priority ("priority"), and users including the admin and operators ("recipient") can receive this alarm notification and check the alarm details.
