All indication schemes presented correspond only to main detector zones with no auxiliary zones taken into account. If the auxiliary camera detector zone has been armed or disarmed, the border around the video surveillance Surveillance window retains its colourcolor, but after an alarm event in the auxiliary zone the Surveillance window border becomes red. So, there is no indication of auxiliary detector zone arming and disarming for the camera by the frame of the Surveillance window. See also Indication of detection tool status. |
