Advanced Configuration
Alarm Actions: Just as there can be multiple
sources of alarms, there are also a variety of
actions or responses to these alarms. Some
actions are only used with pan/tilt cameras.
Actions such as Point, Load ScanList, Go To
Preset, and Engage Radar Track would only be
used with a pan/tilt camera and are not used
with the FB-Series ID fixed camera.
For the FB-Series ID, typically a rule will be configured to Send a Notification, Capture an Image,
Arm/Disarm Analytics, or generate an Output on the GPIO device. If more than one of these
actions is needed, it is necessary to configure multiple rules. Examples of these actions are provided
below.
When the Alarm Action is set to Send Notification, a
Notification List must be selected. The Send Notification
action uses a Msg System and a Notification List that are set
up in the Services menu (refer to Services Menu, pg. 22).
To attach a snapshot, select All Non Radiometric (a normal
JPEG image) from the Attach Image File pull down list.
Radiometric (a special type of JPEG with temperature data)
is not available on the FB-Series ID camera.
Each rule that sends a notification also has the option to
send an activity report to the same notification list every 6,
12, or 24 hours. The activity report indicates whether or not
an alarm was triggered during the specified time period.
Note that this can be selected on a rule by rule basis.
When the Alarm Action is set to Capture Image File, a
snapshot is stored when the alarm occurs. The image file can
be stored locally in temporary storage (the default), over the
camera network using FTP (file transfer protocol) or to a
network-attached storage device (NAS). Refer to File
Transfer, pg. 43 to configure settings for the FTP, NFS, or
Samba transfers.
The Snapshot type should be set to All Non Radiometric (a
normal JPEG image). Radiometric (a special type of JPEG
with temperature data) is not available on the FB-Series ID
camera.
Alarm Rule Examples: The following examples show rules
that control actions from alarms that are internal to the
camera (rather than coming from another source on the
network). The first three lines and the fifth line of these rules
