00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:10,000
in this chapter we will learn how to
configure the alarms of the system

2
00:00:11,370 --> 00:00:16,000
the alarm configuration is one of the most
crucial configurations

3
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:21,400
here you will set all the responses of the system in case
of alarms

4
00:00:21,700 --> 00:00:27,400
setting it incorrectly might cause lost records or no records at all

5
00:00:27,700 --> 00:00:31,000
click on the menu button and then choose settings

6
00:00:31,700 --> 00:00:39,200
the third category is alarm. after clicking on it you will see a subcategory appearing on the right

7
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:42,300
we'll start with alarm output

8
00:00:42,500 --> 00:00:52,200
here we will set the possible responses like alarm out,  email, display, buzzer and push message

9
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:57,000
first is alarm out which is actually relays

10
00:00:57,500 --> 00:01:03,700
alarms output can either be located on the back of the devices depending on the technical specs

11
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:08,500
or it can be inherited from the camera if the camera supports this feature

12
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:16,000
this makes this list dynamic as different devices with different cameras will change the length of the list

13
00:01:16,400 --> 00:01:20,200
in the alarm out you
will have to configure the delay

14
00:01:20,670 --> 00:01:25,500
which is the period of time where the relay stays active and the schedule

15
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:31,700
notice that the alarm out will not be active
outside of the scheduled time

16
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,400
this doesn't include manual alarm mode

17
00:01:34,700 --> 00:01:41,100
next one is email. this configuration is required if you wish for the system to send an email

18
00:01:41,400 --> 00:01:45,900
such as picture or text as a response to alarm events

19
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:49,800
this is a two-stage configuration process

20
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:57,700
first you should configure the sender. check your email configuration and fill the required details

21
00:01:58,100 --> 00:02:02,900
click on test fill the
recipient address and confirm

22
00:02:03,400 --> 00:02:09,600
we recommend going through the test process even if you are sure that the filled details are correct

23
00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:14,000
this will ensure that the email feature will work flawlessly

24
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:23,200
after tested successfully, click on edit recipient to set the email addresses that will receive the alert emails

25
00:02:23,500 --> 00:02:30,300
click on add, build the required email address and choose the active schedule

26
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,600
each email address can be associated with one schedule

27
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,500
the next option is display

28
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:44,500
this refers to the duration of the video and message
pop-ups displayed on the local screen

29
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:49,100
set the duration for both and continue
to the buzzer settings

30
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:56,400
the buzzer settings hold the duration of the buzzer, set it to duration suitable for your needs

31
00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:59,200
last is the push message.

32
00:02:59,500 --> 00:03:03,500
for this feature to work you must enable it on the device

33
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:09,300
and run provisioncam2 mobile application in version 1.1 or higher

34
00:03:09,500 --> 00:03:18,300
tick enable and click apply. then wait for the push server status to change from disabled to online

35
00:03:18,700 --> 00:03:22,000
note that the IP address of the push server

36
00:03:22,100 --> 00:03:26,500
might vary according to your location and the availability of the server

37
00:03:26,700 --> 00:03:30,200
once we are done configuring the responses of the system

38
00:03:30,500 --> 00:03:35,800
we will have to configure how the
system should respond to different alarms

39
00:03:36,200 --> 00:03:43,300
we will start with motion alarms. here you have several available responses for each of the cameras

40
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:45,500
you can choose from-

41
00:03:45,700 --> 00:03:50,700
snap- which will take a snapshot from the camera video stream in case of alarm

42
00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:54,000
set it to off or on as you please

43
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:59,900
alarm out- in case of alarm the
system will automatically activate alarm out

44
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,700
after ticking it a small configuration window will pop up

45
00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:12,180
in this window you have to choose which of the available alarm outputs will be activated in case of alarm

46
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,500
preset- will send a PTZ camera to a specified location

47
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:21,600
after ticking it a new configuration window will pop up

48
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:26,900
choose which cameras will respond and by which preset

49
00:04:27,140 --> 00:04:31,900
note that you must configure the preset prior to performing this configuration

50
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:35,800
if you wish to change any of these settings later on

51
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,400
click on configure and adjust the settings in the popup configuration window

52
00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:45,500
Buzzer- will make the internal buzzer of the system beep

53
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:51,900
pop-up video- a live video of the chosen Channel will pop up on a single channel window

54
00:04:52,100 --> 00:04:59,500
email- the system will send an email according to the settings you have made in the response configuration

55
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:06,400
this is all the configurations available for motion detection. let's proceed to sensor alarm configuration

56
00:05:06,600 --> 00:05:10,960
in this list you will have
all the alarm inputs of the device

57
00:05:11,100 --> 00:05:16,500
together with all the alarm inputs that
were inherited from the IP cameras

58
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,400
the sensor alarm is quite similar to the
motion alarm there are only minor changes

59
00:05:22,700 --> 00:05:27,400
you have three settings dedicated for sensor alarm that should be configured

60
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:35,100
these are type- which allows you to choose between normally open and normally closed

61
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:41,200
the NO and NC refers to the state of the sensor circuit in normal conditions

62
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:47,000
next you have to choose if to enable or disable the sensor

63
00:05:47,800 --> 00:05:53,700
then you can choose which channels will record as a result of the sensor alarm

64
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:58,800
all the rest of the settings are identical to the motion alarms so we will not repeat it

65
00:05:58,900 --> 00:06:01,600
the next configuration is exception-

66
00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:08,500
here we will find all the alarms that relate to the system. we will start with IPC offline

67
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:14,500
this alarm will be triggered if one of the IP cameras connected to the system stops working

68
00:06:14,700 --> 00:06:19,800
here again we'll find all the options from motion and sensor alarms

69
00:06:20,200 --> 00:06:25,700
the next and last section is
exception handling settings

70
00:06:26,200 --> 00:06:31,200
here you will choose what will happen if the system encounters a major fault

71
00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:42,500
this includes IP address conflict, disk error, disk fault, no disk, illegal access and network disconnection

72
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:51,000
the only options here are to trigger alarm out/ enable buzzer/ pop up message and send email

73
00:06:51,500 --> 00:06:55,800
we recommend on enabling all forms of alerts for such alarms

74
00:06:56,200 --> 00:07:03,300
last we have the alarm status- here you can have an indication for the current state of the alarm

75
00:07:03,600 --> 00:07:05,900
this is very useful when connecting sensors

76
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:10,200
as it can give you a clear indicator that the sensors are working as expected

77
00:07:10,500 --> 00:07:14,100
this finalizes the alarm configuration
