You can accept a single alarm or multiple alarms for clearing or starting a workflow.

To accept an alarm:

1. Select the desired alarm entry and click .

2. For returning to the Image window, click .

When an alarm is accepted, several things happen simultaneously:

– The alarm is removed from Alarm Lists of all other users.

– If not already displayed, an Alarm Image window replaces the Live Image window on the

monitor that has been enabled for alarms.

– The alarm content (live video, instant playback video, or site maps) is shown in a row of

Alarm Image panes in the Alarm Image window.

– If there is a workflow associated with the alarm, the workflow button

is enabled.

You can now clear the alarm or start a workflow. If the alarm has been configured to

"force workflow", then you must complete the workflow before you can clear the alarm.

To display an alarm camera on an analog monitor:

4 Drag the camera image from its Alarm Image pane to an analog monitor group.
