The system offers a series of alerts and alarms that help monitor the normal operation of a set of cameras and the server itself. These alerts are configured by the system administrator, according to the individual needs of each solution, and can be modified at any time as a new need arises.

 

The alerts and events functions allow the system to send e-mails or SMS messages to a list of users previously registered in the system every time an event programmed by the administrator occurs. An event can be, among others, a communication failure between the camera and the server, a data recording failure, a motion alert, or an alert associated with an external electrical device. All alerts are also recorded in a log file for later consultation and analysis.

 

Alerts and alarms are activated immediately after they are configured, with no need to stop the system for a configuration to take effect. An alert can be made for the entire system or for a specific camera.

 

Monitoring these alerts is the responsibility of the person the administrator has delegated control to. The lack of interest in verifying the anomalies detected and reported by the system is considered a serious failure, which could compromise security as a whole.
