On the page:

All events registered in the system or those events that match preconfigured filters are displayed in the Event viewer.

Important!

A blank filter (i.e. filter with blank columns) is to be created in order to display all events for all objects in the system in the Event viewer. All events are also displayed in the Event viewer when there is no filter at all. See Configuring event filters for displaying in the Event viewer.

The filters

The Show filters checkbox opens the list of filters configured while system setup (see Administrator's Guide, the Configuring event filters for displaying in the Event viewer section). To activate the filter, set the checkbox next to it's name. Several filters can be activated simultaneously. When the filter is selected in the Event viewer, only the events that match the filter are displayed. If no filter is selected, then all events for all objects in the system are displayed.

Filter selection and filter display setting are stored at Intellect restart, i.e. if some filters are selected and filters list is hidden, then events according to those filters are displayed in the Event Viewer after Intellect restart.

Events of different types are highlighted in different colors depending on the filter settings. The string color may change to another custom color or to the default color after filter switching.

A dynamic filter in the top of a column can be applied to show only events from the objects satisfying the search condition. This filter is applied by Enter.

Operations with the event list

The event log window shows a table containing a list of events registered by the system, which are broken down according to object type. Object types, registered events for which are displayed in the event log, as well as the number of events simultaneously displayed within one event window, are specified at the system configuration stage.

By default, events are sorted by date and time in the Event Viewer window. Events can be sorted by any of the columns. To enable or disable sorting, left-click the header of the required column. In this case, when changing the filters, sorting is saved. When changing the filters, the sorting is saved.

When sorting by time, new events are added to the end of the list in the Event Viewer. The list is scrolled in such a way that the last event is always displayed in the box and it is marked. When the event (different from the last one) is marked, the list is fixed and there is no scrolling, new events are added to the end of the list. Scrolling is resumed in the following cases:

  1. The last event is marked out in the list. This can be done using the Ctrl+End or Ctrl+Home keyboard shortcuts.
  2. The user did not perform any actions in the interface window for 3 minutes. This time can be changed using the UserActivityTimeout registry key - see Registry keys reference guide.
  3. The list was sorted by the new column or the filter was changed.

The table gives the following data for each event:

Column nameSourceEventRegionAdd. infoCardDate and time
Description

Source object of the event.

Note. The information in this column is received from the objid column of the dbo.PROTOCOL table of the Intellect database.

Event name.

Note. The information in this column is received from the action column of the dbo.PROTOCOL table of the Intellect database.

Conventional field (region) of the event source object location.

Note. The information in this column is received from the region_id column of the dbo.PROTOCOL table of the Intellect database.

Additional information describing the event (if any).

Note. The information in this column is received from the param0 column of the dbo.PROTOCOL table of the Intellect database.

Card code for the access-related events (i.e. ACCESS_IN).

Note. The information in this column is received from the param3 column of the dbo.PROTOCOL table of the Intellect database.

Date and time of the event.

Note. The information in this column is received from the date column of the dbo.PROTOCOL table of the Intellect database.

For details about the dbo.PROTOCOL table, see Base Intellect database tables.

Additionally, a symbol near the source object of the event reflects the current status of the given source object.

The Clear button is used to clear the list of events in the Event viewer.

Note.

After the Event viewer is cleared and if hidden events are to be displayed again, then Intellect is to be restarted with the Load protocol checkbox set checked (see Event viewer parameters section in Administrator's Guide).

Event source objects

To show the actual location of the source object of the event, use Show on map function in the source object menu. As soon as this function is on, the map depicting the location of the given source object is displayed (see the Working with the map section). The corresponding object is highlighted with green dots and marked with concentric black-and-white circles.

To play the video sequence of the event from the event source camera, use the Show video function in the source object menu.

 

The camera window pops up in the archive playback mode.

 

The current playback position will be set to the position corresponding to the video recording start time.

Note.

If the detection of abandoned objects is configured (see the Configuring smart video detection tools section of the Administrator's Guide), abandoned objects are framed in the video when the playing back the video.
