This section lists the settings found in the Intrusion detection area Properties tab, in the Area view task.
On the Properties page, you can do the following:
- View the properties of the intrusion detection area as configured on the intrusion detection unit
- Configure the virtual input that lets you trigger intrusion alarms from Security Center
- Physical name
- Name of the intrusion detection area (sometimes called zone, area, or partition) as it is configured on the physical intrusion panel. Changing the entity name of the intrusion detection area does not change its physical name.
- Intrusion detection unit
- Entity name of the intrusion detection unit (intrusion panel) where this area is configured.
- Virtual alarm configuration
- By configuring a virtual alarm, you can trigger intrusion alarms on the
intrusion detection area from Security Center, even when the hardware does not support
this function. To do this, you must physically connect an output relay to an input pin
on the intrusion panel, and configure them as the intrusion detection area properties.
The input so wired is called a virtual input (
).
- Devices
- Name, description, and associated cameras of the inputs that define the intrusion
detection area. Cameras can be added or removed from the inputs by clicking
