Configuring Alarm Management Mode

You can set the following parameters for alarm handling:

1. The maximum allowed time for ignoring alarms is the length of time a new alarm can remain unaccepted for handling by an operator before it is assigned Unclassified status and is deleted from the Alarms tab.
   
   

   Note

   To begin processing an alarm, you must switch to Alarm Management mode

   Note

    The time allowed for evaluating an alarm after accepting it for handling is not limited

   Note

    If the operator is in Alarm Management mode and activates a tile from another video camera, Alarm Management mode will close

2. The maximum allowed reaction time to an alarm is the length of time from the moment the operator who accepted an alarm for processing exits alarm mode, after which the alarm returns to New status, and the count for the allowed time for ignoring an alarm begins again.

   Note

   For example, an operator can exit alarm mode to view the video archive related to the alarm

3. Requirement for comments when classifying alarms in Alarm Management mode.

To configure alarm handling in the system, you must perform the following steps:

1. Go to Settings → Options → Alarm processing (1-2). 
   
2. In the Alarm pending time group, enter the time in seconds during which it is necessary to accept the alarm for processing before it is assigned the Unclassified status (3).
3. In the Operator's idle time field, enter the time in seconds during which an operator who accepted an alarm for processing and exited alarm mode without evaluating it must return to alarm mode (4).

4. Select the alarm classifications for which you want to require comments (5).

5. Click the Apply button.

Configuration of alarm handling is now complete.
