To display a camera feed in a Security Desk monitoring tile when an intrusion input event occurs, such as Glass break, you can assign cameras to intrusion detection inputs.

What you should know

You can assign a camera to an intrusion detection input either from the Intrusion detection task or from the Area view task.

When you associate cameras to an intrusion detection area and related inputs and an event occurs, the system shows the most relevant camera first. For example, when an input event occurs, such as a motion detected, the camera assigned to the input is displayed in the first tile and the cameras assigned to the area are shown next. However, when an area event occurs, such as area disarmed, only the cameras assigned to the area are displayed. When there are multiple videos attached to an event, you can cycle or unpack the tile to see them.

  1. From the Config Tool home page, open the Intrusion detection task, expand the Intrusion Manager role, and then select an intrusion detection unit from the list.
