On the page:

Events are processed in the Current events tab of the Operator protocol window. The examples of the tab display:

Current events

Events registered by alarm objects with no type assigned and events escalated from a lower level are displayed in the Current events tab. The event control panel is at the top of the tab, and the information on events is at the bottom of the tab.

The details of event display:

  1. Depending on the Operator protocol configuration, current events can be displayed as cells with screenshots or lines without schreenshots (see Configuring the Operator protocol interface). The number of horizontal cells is determined by the Operator protocol window width. However, the Operator protocol can be configured in such a way that the cell size fits the size of the free area under the event control panel. In this case only one cell is horizontal, and its height is equal to the height of the free area. To display events as lines, set the checkbox, if this option is enabled in the settings for the Operator.
  2. Depending on the Operator protocol configuration, the events are displayed in the order they are received or by the priority and importance, ascending or descending. When there is ascending sorting, the newest (of higher priority) event is in the upper left corner or on the top line, when there is descending sorting, it is in the bottom right corner or on the bottom line.
  3. If one or several events are selected by the Operator, then their position in the Operator protocol window is not changed and new events continue appearing in the window. They shift in accordance with the sorting order. In this case, the Operator protocol can be configured in such a way that when a new event is received, its cell or line automatically becomes active.
  4. The screenshot of the event is displayed in the cells of the events of the Camera objects as well as events of objects linked to cameras (see Connection of objects with cameras). If there are several cameras linked to the object, you can use the  buttons to browse the screenshots. The name of the corresponding camera is displayed on the frame.
  5. Events can be displayed without grouping or can be grouped by object, event or region. Event can be grouped using the  drop-down list, if this option is enabled in the settings for the Operator.

Note

Temporary images (events screenshots) are stored in the C:\Users\<User name>\AppData\Local\Temp\OperatorProtocol folder. They are automatically deleted at normal Intellect shutdown or restart.

Checklist

On the right there is a checklist of actions that must be performed during the event processing. This list is set up by the Administrator during the Operator protocol configuration. After you perform the required action, set the checkbox next to it, and the information about the task completion will be added to the comment field along with the date and time indication.

Assigning a type to the event

To assign a type to the event, select one or several event cells or lines using the left mouse button (hold down the Ctrl key to select several events, if this feature is enabled in the system settings) and then click one of the buttons on the event control panel. The buttons for event processing may not be available until a comment is entered if the corresponding setting is enabled. If the helping guides were added during the Operator protocol configuration, you can click the button and open the helping guide about the event processing.

Note

If the events are grouped, then selecting a line with the grouping name will select all events from this grouping. The presence of the event processing buttons depends on the settings of the Operator protocol.

The button names can be changed during the system configuration stage.

Note

When you select the event cell or line, the camera (linked to the corresponding object) activation event is generated. If the Active monitor is configured in the system (see Configuring the display mode of camera windows), then video from the corresponding camera is displayed in it. If several cells are selected, then cameras are displayed one-by-one on the Active monitor.

After the type is assigned to the event, it is removed from the Current events tab in the Operator protocol window. If the event (after being processes) is not removed from other Operator protocols when configuring the Operator protocol (see Setting the options for handling events in the Operator protocol), then the processed event is marked grey in other Operator protocol windows. But other operators can process this event once again. 

Note

If all non-processed events must be assigned with the type of the selected event, then set the Apply to all checkbox.

In order to delay the event processing once for the time period specified when configuring the Operator protocol, click the Delay button. The event will not be removed from the Operator protocol windows and it will not be marked grey in other Operator protocols.

Note

If the time of waiting for the response from the Operator (specified in the settings of the Operator protocol object) (see Administrator's Guide) is exceeded, then the event is escalated and if the chief interface is not assigned to the Operator protocol, then it is removed from the Current events tab and the Non-processed type is assigned. When Intellect is restarted, the non-processed events are saved.

Frames, archive and the Map

If the bookmark for the selected events is to be created in the archive, then set the Set the bookmark checkbox before processing the event. The comment will be used as the bookmark name. See List of bookmarks.

If the events are displayed as cells, then the frame of the moment of alarm (screenshot of the event) can be enlarged. To do this, double-click it. The window with zoom-in frame appears. This window can be moved around the screen by dragging the title bar with the left mouse button. In this case, the position of the window will be saved for each type of event and window of the Operator protocol. To close this window, click the X button in the upper right corner or press Esc on the keyboard.

 

Note

The window with enlarged alarm frame may not appear if the corresponding value is set for the hide_image_preview registry key (see Registry keys reference guide).

If the Tracker object is created and configured for the camera, the objects displaying on the image is enabled and metadata source is VideoIntellect, the frames around detected objects may be shown on the frame. The frame color and thickness can be changed by RectColor and RectLineWidth registry keys (see Registry keys reference guide).

Also, if captions are configured for the camera, then the event screenshot may contain captions. 

To view or export the video of the event, select the event in the list and click the Enter archive button on the control panel. The enter archive feature is available for events from Camera objects and objects linked to them (see Connection of objects with cameras).

 

If the ActiveX video display method was selected during the Operator protocol configuration, the window for the video viewing and exporting will open. The ActiveX window interface is the same as the Video surveillance monitor interface. This window can be moved around the screen by dragging the title bar with the left mouse button. In this case, the position of the window will be saved for each type of event and window of the Operator protocol. To close this window, click the X button in the upper right corner or press Esc on the keyboard.

If the Monitor was selected, then the required camera(s) will be displayed on the selected monitor in the archive viewing mode. In this case, the current playback position will be set to the position corresponding to the beginning of the video recording. The ArchShift registry key can shift the playback position (see Registry keys reference guide).

 To view the object from which the event comes on the interactive Map, select the event cell and click the Find on map button on the control panel. As a result the required layer of the interactive Map is displayed. The corresponding object is highlighted with green dots and marked with concentric black-and-white circles.
