When configuring the areas of a panel, you can choose how events reported by an area are presented in Security Center, assign custom events to the armed and disarmed events, set up badging to arm and disarm areas, and assign cameras to areas.
On the Areas tab, the following sections let you choose how incoming events are treated in Security Center and allow you to define badging rules. You can configure any or all of these settings depending on your needs.
- Alarms
- Map Security Center alarms to input events so
that when an event occurs, selected recipients receive an alarm and see video from
linked cameras in the Alarms monitoring task. You can either create
an alarm from this page or choose an existing alarm.NOTE: Alarms are linked to recipients and cameras.
- Custom events
- Link Security Center custom events to area events.
- Badging
- Select the number of times a user must present an access key or badge at the reader to arm and disarm the area.
