3.5.3 Automatic Recording And Alarming (Alarm Planner)
After you have set the general recording and alarming behavior of MxEasy, you can use
the Alarm Planner to define the behavior for specific time ranges, in accordance with your
requirements:
1. Activate the Alarm Planner operating mode under the Camera | Operating Mode
menu or by clicking on the Operating Mode button .
2.
Select Alarm Planner and click on OK to confirm. The system is now in Alarm Planner
operating mode.
Use the Alarm Planner to establish settings for recordings, events and notifications within
specific time ranges:
1.
Activate the Alarm Planner under Camera| Alarm Configuration or by clicking on the
Alarm Configuration button. The window for setting up properties opens.
The general settings that you have already entered are imported into the Alarm Planner.
You can see these settings in the background colors and the small icons above the days
of the week. A gray background means that no recordings take place, a red background
means continuous recording, and a yellow means event-controlled recording. The icons
indicate at all times which events trigger alarms, who is notified and how they are notified.
Icons such as “Thermometer“ and “Speaker,“ for example, mean that alarms were set up
in such away that an alarm is sounded if the temperature falls below or exceeds a specific
value. As long as you have not defined any other time ranges, these settings apply for the
entire time from Monday 12:00 a.m. to Sunday 12:00 a.m.
Setting Up And Editing Time Ranges
You set up time ranges for which you would like to configure custom recording or alarm
behavior (e.g., in a sales room: continuous recording during opening hours; otherwise,
alarm triggered by video motion sensor).
• Setting up a time range: Use your mouse to draw a box inside the calendar window.
• Moving time ranges: Use your mouse to drag the window to the desired time and
day of the week. If you move the mouse over the window, it automatically turns into
a hand cursor.
• Changing time ranges: Drag the edge of the window using your mouse to increase
or decrease the size of a window. A resize cursor appears automatically when the
mouse pointer hovers over the edge of the window. You can also use the weekday
and time fields (in the lower section of the time planner) to adjust the selected time
range down to the minute.
