The system supports use of four fixed sensors (vibration sensor, lock sensor, temperature sensor, and additional sensor) as well as 12 expansion sensors. There is also a separate additional device, "temperature array".

To configure the list of sensors in use:

1. Go to the configuration panel for the Partition Of Control object.
   
2. Click the Add button (1). A dialog box for adding a sensor appears.
   
3. In the Type drop-down list, select the type of sensor from the sixteen types described previously (1).
4. In the Name field, enter the text that will be sent to Server of Control together with the alarm message. This text will be overlaid on the video during the captioning process (2).
5. In the ID drop-down list, select a Sensor object that has been previously created in the Intellect device tree (3).
6. In the Assignment to camera drop-down list, select a Camera object that has been previously created in the Intellect device tree (4).

7. To enable sending video frames to Server of Control when a sensor is activated, select the Transmit snapshots check box (5). In the Assignment to camera field, specify the camera from which you want video frames to be sent (4).

   The settings for sending video frames and for sending video fragments are different.

   
   

8. If you want for a video fragment to be sent to Server of Control when a sensor is triggered, select the Transmit video check box (6). In the Assignment to camera field, specify the camera from which you want video frames to be sent (4).
9. In the Post-alarm time (sec.) field, enter the time delay between when a sensor is triggered and the time of access to the video archives, in seconds (7). The default value is 20 seconds. This parameter is necessary for guaranteed recording on camera.
10. In the Pre-alarm time (sec.) field, specify the amount of time for which you want to pre-record before sensor triggering, in seconds (8). This allows obtaining video frames depicting not only the very moment at which an alarm occurs, but a short time before.
11. In the Number of frames drop-down list, select the quantity of video frames to be transferred when a sensor is triggered (for video frame transmission mode) (9).

12. In the Interval (sec.) field, enter the length of time, in seconds, between video frames if more than one frame is to be sent (10). Thus when an alarm occurs, it is possible to send to Server of Control an entire sequence of frames that represent different points in time, which increases the chance of viewing the most valuable frames (for video frame transmission mode).

    For snapshots transmitting more, as well as for video clips transmitting, it is necessary to create a script for stopping video recording on camera (see Sample script for stopping camera recording).

    
    

    When specifying the Pre-alarm time, Number of frames, and Interval settings, keep an eye on the configuration of the camera from which video frames are to be sent, and particularly on the Pre-Alarm record setting. Pre-Alarm record time on camera have to be greater or equal to Pre-Alarm time value in sensor settings.

    

13. In the Length (sec.) field (1), specify the length of the video fragment to send (for video fragment transmission mode).

    

    This setting is unavailable in the current version. The length will be determined by the size of the video fragment file in the video archive. To limit the length of the video fragment to be sent, use a script to stop recording on the camera (a sample script is found in the Sample script for stopping camera recording).

    
    

14. In the Rate field, enter the transmission rate for the video fragment (for video fragment transmission mode) (2).
15. To overlay captions on video when a sensor is triggered, select the Captioning check box (11). In the Assignment to camera field, specify the camera on whose video you want to overlay captions (4).
16. In the Show for (sec.) drop-down list, select the amount of time for which you want captions to be displayed on video, in seconds (12).
17. Click OK (13).
18. To perform monitoring to ensure that temperatures do not deviate from an allowed range, select the Temperature sensor set check box (3). A set of DS18S20-type temperature sensors is used for temperature monitoring. Temperature sensors are connected via a two-wire MicroLAN to a MicroLAN network adapter, which in turn connects to the COM port of the computer on which Agent of Control is installed. The MicroLAN network adapter can be connected to the USB port of the computer on which Agent of Control is installed, by adding a RS232–USB adapter.

Configuration of the list of used sensors is now complete.
