Accessing the Camera Alarms Report
The Alarms Report shows if a camera is not working properly. Alarms that are related to each other are handled according to a clear hierarchy of severity. This decreases the number of alarms you receive in the report for related issues, enabling you to focus on the most severe issues at hand. Alarms are saved in the cloud for 45 days.
For example, if there is no SD card inserted in a camera, three alarms could be raised: SD card not mounted, recording failure, and recording failed 2 times in the last 24 hours. Instead, each alarm has a hierarchy level; only the SD card not mounted alarm is raised, since it is the most severe.
From the Alarms Report area, you can export alarms reports, set email notifications, and add comments about actions taken for the each alert.
