Security Control Panel

A security control panel detects people, vehicle (etc.) entering a pre-defined virtual region, triggers events, and reports events information (such as event location) to security personnel. The Event Center module provides event management and remote control of partitions and zones via the client. After configuring client actions in event management page, you will receive notifications on the client when an event occurs. You can also manage the partitions and zones by the client even if you cannot operate the security control panel mannually.

Configure Client Linkage for Zone Event

Even if you are far away from a zone, you can still know what happens and how urgent the event is in a zone by configuring linked actions of zone event on the client. You will be notified on the client once an event is triggered, so that you can response to the event instantly. You can also configure client actions of multiple zones in a batch at a time.

Before You Start

• Make sure you have added a security control panel.
• Make sure zones have been defined beforehand.
• Make sure events have been configured beforehand.

Steps

1. Click Event Management → Security Control Event.
2. Expand the zone list of a security control panel, and then select a zone from the list.
3. Check one or more event.
4. Click Edit Linkage to configure client actions.
   • Audible Warning — The client software gives an audible warning when an event is triggered. You can select the alarm sound for audible warning.
     • Note: Click Add to enter the alarm sound name and select a sound in your PC. For details, refer to Set Alarm Sound.
   • Send Email — Send an email of the alarm information to one or more receivers. For details about setting email parameters, refer to Set Email Parameters.
   • Pop-up Window — Pop-up window to display the event related information (including event details, captured pictures of the linked camera, process record, and process field) on the software client when the event is triggered.
   • Display on Map — When the event source is added as a hot spot on the map, the hot spot will be displayed with a red number (indicates the number of events, and the maximum number is 10) aside when the event is triggered, which helps the security guard to view the location of the event. You can also click the hot spot to view the event details and the live video of the linked camera(s).
   • Linked Camera — Link the selected camera(s) to capture picture when the zone event is triggered. Select the camera(s) in the drop-down list.
     • Note: Up to 4 cameras can be selected as the linked cameras for a zone event.
5. Optional: Click Edit Priority to set event priority as Uncatergorized/Low/Medium/High.
6. Optional: Click Copy to... to copy the event settings (including event priority, triggered client actions, and enabling/disabling the event) to other zones.
7. Enable or disable client actions for zone event.

   • Click Enable All or Disable All to enable or disable client actions of all zone events.

   • Switch Enable to ON/OFF to enable or disable client actions of one zone event.

   • Enable Client Actions — When client actions are enabled, client actions will be triggered when client receives zone event.

   • Disable Client Actions — When client actions are disabled, client actions will not work and actions will not be triggered when client receives zone event.

8. Click Save.

Remotely Control Security Control Panel

After adding the security control panel to the client, you can remotely control the partitions, zones, and relays of security control panel via the client software. For instance, you can arm, disarm, bypass, group bypass, etc. for both partitions and zones. You can also enable or disable relays.

Remotely Control Partitions

You can perform operations remotely on security control panel's partitions using the client such as away arming, stay arming, instant arming, disarming, clearing alarm, group bypass, and recovering group bypass.

Steps

1. Click Event Center → Security Control Panel.
2. Select a security control panel and click Partition. The name, status, arming status and linked zone of the partitions will be displayed in the list.
3. Select one or more partition and click the following button(s).
   • Away Arming — An arming mode that works when all persons are absent from the monitored region. When away arming is enabled, all zones of the partition work properly.
   • Stay Arming — An arming mode that works when persons stay in the monitored region. When stay arming is enabled, zones inside of the region are armed while zones outside of the region will be bypassed where you can move in the zones without triggering any event.
   • Instant Arming — After arming a partition, its zone will alarm instantly when an event is triggered.
   • Disarming — All the zones (except 24-hour zones) in the partitions does not work any more after clicking, so that no event will be triggered in the disarmed zones.
     • Note: 24-hour zones (e.g. 24-hour annunciating zones, 24-hour silent alarm zone, etc.) still can detect events and then alarm even if the partition is disarmed.
   • Clear Alarm — Stop the alarming of alarming devices.
   • Group Bypass — Bypass all the zones in one or more partition so that no event will be triggered in the bypassed zones before group bypass recovery.
     • Note: You should disarm the partition before bypassing it.
   • Group Bypass Recovery — Recover a group bypass to make all the zones in a partition work, so that you can arm the group.

Remotely Control Zones

You can use the client to remotely control the security control panel's zones including bypassing and recovering bypass.

Steps

1. Click Event Center → Security Control Panel.
2. Select a security control panel and click Partition. The name, status, arming status and linked zone of the partitions will be displayed in the list.
3. Click to open the Zone Operation panel. The zones linked with the partition, zone No., zone name, zone status, zone alarm status, battery will be displayed.
