Alarm types

The following table contains all the alarm types that are controlled by the monitoring system by default. For Communication channel alarm group: if Agent Of Control connects to Server of Control via the TCP/IP protocol and it has connected to it before, the Device field shows the object's IP address.

Alarm group	Alarm type	Device	Comment
Communication channel	No connection with the object	Communication channel	Agent Of Control connects to Server of Control in client mode
	No connection with the monitoring agent	Local video system	Agent Of Control connects to Server of Control in server mode
Hardware	Disk failure	101:Disk name	Intellect's settings contain the names of the disks to record video archive on. This alarm occurs when one of these disks does not exist or has the wrong type. The correct type for a disk: fixed, removable, or network.
		102:Disk size	Error when computing the free disk space
		103:VIDEO folder	The VIDEO folder is not present
		104:Number of disks=0	No disks were selected in Intellect for recording the video archive.
		105:Disk error	An unknown disk error was received from Agent Of Control
	UPS signal	1000:PowerChute started 1001:PowerChute stopped 1002:Connection restored 1003:Power restored 1004:Self-Test passed 1005:Administrative shutdown 1006: Shutdown canceled 1007:Battery charged 1009:Battery changed 1013:Allowed overload 1014:RTC Started 1015:RTC Finished 1016: Shutdown in process 1102:Normal temperature 2000:Power is off 2001:Shutdown performed 2002:Low power 2003:Battery discharging 2004:RTC Aborted 2007:High power 3000:Connection lost 3001:Overload 1004:Self-Test not passed 3003:Battery discharged 3004:Connection lost - battery 3016:Change battery 3107:High temperature
Video system software	Software error	Core software	intellect.exe unloaded
		Base software (video)	video .run unloaded or hanging
		Registry	The registry does not have the data necessary for Agent Of Control to work
		Database	Error when connecting to the Intellect database
Size of archives	Small archive size	Archive 1 … Archive N	The archive depth requirements are not met (see Info on archives).
Cameras	Camera is off	Camera 1 … Camera N	Camera is not working: there is no signal from camera or the connection is lost
FSA	Vibration detector signal	Vibration detector	The four sensors that cannot be renamed on Agent Of Control i. e. they must be used according to their names (Vibration detector, Lock, etc.).
	Lock sensor signal	Lock
	Overheat detector signal	Overheat detector
	Additional sensor signal	Additional sensor
	Additional sensor signal	EXT. SENSOR	12 sensors whose names must be renamed on Agent Of Control These names are shown in the Device column. By default, the following line will be shown: EXT. SENSOR
	Computer restarted normally	Computer	Logged off from Windows normally before restarting
	Computer restarted abnormally	Computer	The computer was restarted without logging off from Windows correctly (power off)

Note.

Periods of information updating in the interfaces can vary for particular alarm types – see Appendix 1. Data update periods summary.

For the ACS and Detections alarm groups, no data is sent from Agent Of Control.

The alarms tracked by the monitoring system can be of two types:

Long-term.
Short-term.

Long-term alarms are alarms that have a start and end time (for example, Camera is off/Camera is on, No connection with object/Connection with object).

Short-term alarms have no duration. They inform about occurred events, such as Vibration detector triggered or Computer restarted normally. These alarms are not included when the system's performance indicators are calculated.

Alarms that are configured as described above (in the abandoned object detector example) are always short-term. For short-term alarms, the End field is immediately filled with a time shifted by one second from the alarm detection time. Confirmed short-term alarms are shown in the Control Panel for 10 minutes. Long-term alarms include the following alarm types:

No connection with object;
No connection with monitoring agent;
Disk failure;
Software error;
Small archive size;
Camera is off;
Object disarmed (this alarm type becomes available when you activate the special mode of Monitoring operation with ACFA Intellect (see Configuring the special mode of Monitoring operation with ACFA Intellect), or when you enable the object status monitoring on the Agent of Control side (see Configuring alarms for monitoring the object state on the Agent Of Control side).
