* Some events are repeated in the table: their source can vary. For example: an alarm triggered by
an “
Outside World event” can also be triggered by rebooting a unit.
† A Multi SA can set a Video lock event to be only logged rather than trigger an alarm.
‡ Some configuration settings can be changed onsite, using LocalView. These changes are not
logged nor do they trigger an alarm when the configuration event is set tot do so.
