Global events are powerful alarming and systems integration tools. Like any other event, global events can be used to trigger pre-programmed actions in the system, as well as enable or disable camera recording.

 

Global events can be triggered by users through the Surveillance Client or by external systems, thus allowing any application to activate an event in the system.

 

This chapter will only cover how to configure global events. For information on how to trigger a global event through an external application, consult the global events API.
