Alarm Setup Procedure

1. Creating a New Zone

Zones are used to manage alarms. An Alarm server must be accessible before the Control Center can receive an alarm from any SightLogix device.

Go to the Alarms Explorer tab in the Setup view and right-click a site. Select New Zone...

The New Zone dialog opens

Select the Alarm Server the zone will use.
Select a schedule for the zone. The schedule defines when the zone will be active. If no schedules are available, you will need to create one. Please consult your Control Center manual for details on priority. The priority determines the order in which alarms appear in the Events Window, and how alarms in the zone are escalated.
Click OK.

The new zone is displayed as unset in the Site Explorer.

The New Detector wizard opens.
Enter a name for the new detector, and select Basic Analytics as the type of event that will activate the detector, and click Next.

Select the camera for this Detector and click Next.

Set the dwell time if necessary and click Next

Click Finish

Note for SightSensor HD: Repeat the zone and detector steps for the cloned camera.
