You can configure an event-to-action to allow the Security Center Incident Snapshots Generator
plugin to automatically detect and trigger incidents based on
Security Center events.
Before you begin
Ensure you have the required
Incidents snapshots monitoring privilege.
What you should know
An event-to-action links an
action to a
particular
event. For example, you can configure Security
Center to trigger incident snapshot generation when a door is forced open.
Procedure
-
Open the System task, and click the General
settings view.
-
Click the Actions page.
-
Click Add an item (
).
-
From the When drop-down list in the
Event-to-action dialog box, select an event type.
-
(Optional: Custom events only) If you select a custom event, you can specify a text
string in the and field, which must be included in the macro that triggers the
event-to-action.
-
In the From option, click Any entity, and
then select an entity that triggers the event.
By default, the event-to-action occurs when any entity triggers the event type you
select. If you select a specific entity, then you might have to set other parameters (for
example, if you select a door, then you must also select a door side).
-
From the Action drop-down list, select Trigger
incident snapshots.
-
Configure the following parameters:
- Incident snapshot plugin
- If your system has multiple plugins, select the one responsible for generating and
uploading your incident snapshots.
- Bank branch
- Select the bank branch from which you want to trigger incident snapshots.
NOTE: The
bank branch must have associated cameras to generate snapshots.
- Incident type
- Select the type of incident that you want to trigger snapshots for.
NOTE: The
selected incident type is used in the upload file name.
- Description
- Enter a short description to be used as the upload header.
- Time limit
- Enter the incident duration in minutes.
- Clearance required
- Select the Clearance required checkbox to require the
operator to give clearance before the incident is uploaded.
NOTE: Clearance is
required by default.
-
In the Effective option, click Always,
and select a schedule when this event-to-action is active.
If the event occurs outside of the defined schedule, then the action is not
triggered. For example, you might want to sound an alarm only when a window is
opened during the weekend. By default, Always is selected.
-
(Optional) Enable the Use source time zone option to configure
the schedule's start and end using the time zone of the source entity's server.
NOTE: This option is only available for cameras, video units, access control units, and
doors.
-
Click Save.
The Save button is only available when all the arguments
required by the event-to-action type are specified.
Results
The new event-to-action is added to the list of system actions.
