The supported linkage actions are Trigger Recording, Trigger Pop-up Window, Trigger Audible Alarm, Capture Picture, Create Tag, Trigger PTZ, Link Access Point, Link Alarm Output, Send Email, and Trigger User-Defined Event.
For Trigger Recording, Capture Picture, and Create Tag:
If you have selected Source Camera and the source is a door without a linked camera, the linkage action can still be added but will not come into effect.
Select the camera to record the alarm video when the alarm is triggered.
Source Camera: Record videos by the camera that triggered the alarm and storing the video files in the selected storage location (i.e., Store in Main Storage, Store in Auxiliary Storage, and Not Store).
Specified Camera: Record videos by other cameras and storing the video files in the selected storage location(s) for specified camera(s) respectively.
The recording will start from 3 seconds before to 15 seconds after the alarm triggering.
The recording will be kept for 7 days at least and then will be processed following the overwriting mechanism of device.
To add this linkage action, Trigger Recording should be configured as well. The tag will be added to the event-triggered video footage for convenient search.
You can customize the tag name as desired or select existing ones ($Event Name / $Event Time / $Event Source).
The tag will be placed from 3 seconds before to 15 seconds after the alarm triggering.
After tags are created, you can perform playback by tag, and search for triggered alarms by tag (Search for and Export Alarms).
Select cameras to capture pictures during the alarm.
Source Camera: Capture picture by the camera that triggered the alarm.
Specified Camera: Capture picture by other cameras.
Only one picture will be captured by each camera.
Call the preset, patrol, or pattern of the selected cameras when the alarm is triggered.
The selected door(s) will be locked, be unlocked, remain locked, or remain unlocked as configured when the alarm is triggered.
Link alarm output device(s) (peripherals such as speaker).
Before adding this linkage action, you should configure alarm(s) for user-defined event(s) first. As the user-defined event(s) cannot be automatically detected, it needs to be manually triggered by clicking Trigger User-Defined Event on the notification panel of the main page, or added as a linkage action for another alarm.
Play the voice text on the PC in case the monitoring personnel is not looking at the screen. The voice text will come into effect only when the audio function is enabled and the system voice engine is selected as the alarm sound. See details in Event and Alarm.
Display the alarm window to show the alarm details, alarm linked cameras' live videos and playback, etc. when the alarm is triggered.
