Camera Tampering

Camera Tampering 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 up.

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 conditions 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.

2. Click Add to set up a new action r ule.

3. Enter a Name for the action rule.

4. Under Condition,selectDetectors from the Trigger list.

5. Select Tam pering from the list of detectors.

6. Select the video channel.

7. Optionally, select a schedule and set additional conditions

8. Select the action. To send an email, s el ect Send Notiﬁ

cation and 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 not

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

For more information on actions rules, see Events, on page 29.
