If alarms or events have video associated with them, when you select a particular alarm in the alarm list, the alarm preview displays the recorded video from the selected alarm or event. If there are many cameras associated with an alarm, or if you have selected more than one alarm, the preview displays several previews. If there is no video associated, the alarm preview will be gray. You can change the alarm preview's properties in setup mode.
Alarm preview settings
Name |
Description |
|---|---|
Show duplicate cameras |
Select to display video from duplicate cameras several times in the alarm preview. The alarm preview reflects what is selected in the alarm list. Because you can select multiple alarms or events, video from the same camera may appear several times in the alarm preview if some of the selected alarms or events relate to the same camera. |
Show event source cameras |
Select to display video (if any) from the camera for which the alarm or event has been set up on the surveillance system server. We do not recommend clearing this field. |
Show related cameras |
Select to display video from related cameras in the alarm preview. You can display associated video from up to 16 related cameras for a single alarm or event. You cannot determine the number of related cameras in the XProtect Smart Client; the number may vary from alarm to alarm, and is specified as part of the surveillance system configuration. |
Show overlay |
Only relevant if using the alarm preview together with a plug-in capable of displaying overlay information, such as lines tracking the paths of moving objects, or similar. This is not standard functionality in the XProtect Smart Client. |
