Alarms and Scheduling
Flexibility
Use of scheduling to disarm alarms is optional. If you choose to assign a schedule to alarms, all
alarms use that schedule. A schedule for the alarms can be independent from those used by
cameras; for example, you can set events to trigger alarms only after business hours, while
cameras keep recording. Or the opposite. See figure
7–6, below.
Assigning a schedule to alarms
A schedule is assigned to alarms in the same way as for cameras. Alarms can be set to either:
• Always ON. No schedule is used. Cameras using this setting record at all times.
• Use Schedule: Default. The simplest way to simultaneously schedule all cameras and alarms is
to customize the "Default" schedule; see
Customizing a Schedule, p.107, and Holiday and
Exception.
• Use Schedule: [defined schedule]. To schedule a camera or alarms separately, or to schedule
a set of cameras as a group, see
To Add a Schedule.
Scheduling and Security
• Depending on your organization’s security needs, it may make sense, for example, to disarm
alarms or cameras set for motion detection, during working hours.
• Abuse of scheduling can have an impact on security. Please consult your organization’s
security officer.
Motion detection
A useful application for scheduling alarms is to counteract false positive alarms in
Motion
Detection.
