Camera Tampering

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

To conﬁgure tampering:

1. Go to Detectors > Camera Tampering.

2. Set the Minimum duration, that is, the time that must elapse before an alarm is generated. This ca n help prevent false

alarms for known conditio ns that affect the image.

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

covered, or rendered severely out of focus.

4. Click Save .

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

1. Go to Events > Action Rules.
