To display camera feeds in the Security Desk Monitoring task, you can assign local cameras to federated doors. This allows Security Desk operators to monitor door events, such as Door forced or Access denied.

Before you begin

To monitor federated doors with local cameras, you must have the following Security Center configurations:
  • An Archiver role with available cameras
  • A Security Center Federation™ role that can connect to an external Security Center system with doors

What you should know

  • Assigning a local camera to a federated door creates a relationship between them in the local system. The camera is not shared with the federated system.
  • The local camera is assigned to both sides of the federated door. You cannot assign the camera to a specific door side.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the Area view task.
  2. Expand the Security Center Federation™ role (), and select the federated door.
  3. Click and drag the local camera to the federated door.
    The local camera and federated door are now related.
    Tip: To select multiple cameras, hold Ctrl or Shift while clicking.
