Camera Tampering

Camera Tamper ing can generate an alarm whenever the camera is repositioned, or when the lens is covered, sprayed or severely

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

To conﬁgure tampering:

1. Go to Detectors > Camera Tampering.

2. Set the Minimum duration, that is, the time that must elapse befo re an alarm is generated. This can help prevent false

alarms for known conditio ns 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 rende red severely 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 schedule and set additional conditions.

7. Select the a ction. To send a n email, select Send Notiﬁcation a

nd select a Recipient from the list of deﬁned recipients.

Note

The While the rule is active op tion under Duration cannot be used with camera tampering, since camera tampering does no t

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