Events & Alarms


This chapter describes how to view events and alarms in ICPAM. It also includes instructions to configure the event policies that define how events are captured and managed.

Events can be viewed in the following ways:

             As a list using the Events or Alarms modules.

             Using an audit trail of events initiated by a user.

             By personnel photos.

             Using graphic maps to display where events occur on a floor or building. You can also use the map to trigger actions for a device or door.

Tip           To create actions that are triggered by an event, see Configuring Automated Tasks.
To view live and recorded video for events and alarms, see System Configuration Settings .
