When Messages Cannot be
Transmitted to the Guardall
Director Software
If the Guardall Director software is not
connected with the specific panel, messages
are not transmitted, and each individual panel
will retain up to 65,536 of the latest events
that occurred.
Exception: Remote (dial-up) panels with their own
dedicated
external modem (i.e. one panel per modem)
can be set to automatically 'dial-in' and transmit
messages to the Director software. These messages
will appear in the monitoring window when you access
the associated account.)
For details, refer to "Monitoring, Paging, & Remote
Mgt. Settings".
Note: Panel connections require that the
communications software be running on the specific
PC. The event-log capacity of each panel depends on
the panel's "Feature Set" selection. For details, refer
to "Account-Wide Panel Settings".

Opening a Video Event
Open your desired account in the ‘tree’, and
ensure the event monitoring window is
displayed. To view the associated recording,
click the camera symbol for the specific event.
If a video that coincides with the event is
available, it will open and start playing
automatically starting at the time of the
triggering event.
If an image does not appear, this typically means that
either a recording is not available from the specific
camera for this time-slot, or the Director software is
unable to communicate with the NetVision Video Server.
Then, refer to the item-descriptions for this
screen for details on your available choices.
