Camera Tampering

Camera Tampering can genera te an alarm whenever the camera is repositioned, or when the lens is co vered, sprayed or severely

defocused. To send an alarm, for example an email, an action rule must be set up.

To conﬁgure tamp ering:

1. Go to Detectors > Camera Tampering.

2. Set the Minimu m duration, that is, the time that must elaps e before an alarm is generated. This can hel p prevent false

alarms for known conditions that affect the image.

3. Select Alarm for dark images if an alarm should be generated if lights are dimmed or turned off, or if the lens is sprayed,

covered, or rendered severel y out of focus.

4. Click Save.

To conﬁgure the product to send an alarm when tampering occurs:

1. Go to Events > Action Rules.

2. Click Add to set up a new action rule.

3. Enter a Name for the action rule.

4. Under Condition,selectDetectors from the Trigger list.

5. Select Tampering from the list of detectors.

6. Optionally, select a sche dule and set additional conditions.

7. Select the action. To send an email, select Send Notiﬁcation a

nd select a Recipient from the list of deﬁ ned recipients.

Note

The While the rule is active option under Duration cannot be used with camera tampering, since camera tampering does not

have a duration and once it has been triggered it will not automatically return to its untriggere d state .

For more information on actions rules, see Events, on page 35.
