Before you can monitor KiwiVision™ events in
the Monitoring task, you must select the entities that trigger those
events.
What you should know
To monitor events, it is important to select which entities you want to monitor
because some event types can be generated by multiple entities. For example, an
Access granted event can be
generated by a cardholder, visitor, or credential. If you only monitor cardholders,
you will not receive all Access granted
events.
