Using the Monitoring task, you can keep track of events that occur on video walls.
Before you begin
Procedure
- From the Security Desk homepage, open Options > Events.
-
Select the EIZO custom events that you want to monitor.
NOTE: You can enter EIZO into the search field at the top of the window to quickly find the EIZO custom events.
- Click Save.
- Open the Monitoring task.
-
In the Area view, select the entities you want to monitor.
To select multiple entities, hold Ctrl or Shift, and then select the entities.
-
Drag the selected entities over the Monitoring () icon at the bottom of the
Monitoring task.
The entities you selected are added to the Event monitoring list.
- To show the event list, drag the divider down from the top of the Monitoring task window.
-
To monitor events in the canvas, choose one of the following two modes:
- Tile mode
- Tile mode is the main Security Desk canvas operating mode that presents information in separate tiles. You can turn monitoring on or off for each tile.
- Map mode
-
Map mode is a Security Desk canvas operating mode that replaces tiles
and controls with a geographical map showing all active, georeferenced events in your
system. Switching to Map mode is a feature that comes with
AutoVu™, Correlation, or Genetec Mission Control™, and requires a license for one of these
major features.
NOTE: To switch between tile mode and map mode, your account must have the Switch to map mode privilege.
- From the Area view, drag and drop the entities you want to view into the canvas.
-
(Optional) To protect the content in the tile from being overwritten by new
events, turn off monitoring for that tile.
Tip: This is helpful if you have a tile plugin displayed in the canvas, and do not want an event to replace it.
- Select a tile in the canvas.
- In the tile widget, click Monitoring (), and click Monitor events.
The check mark beside Monitor events disappears and the tile ID background turns black.
