Add Alarm Output to Area for Current Site

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, alarm devices (e.g., the siren, alarm lamp, etc.) connected with the alarm output will make actions. For example, when receiving the alarm out signal from the system, the alarm lamp will flash.

The devices need to be added to the HikCentral Professional for area management. Refer to Device and Server Management for details.

Note:

One alarm output can only belong to one area. You cannot add an alarm output to multiple areas.
