You can link cameras to cabinet entities and iFob entities, so you can view video of your assets from the related monitoring and report tasks in Security Desk.

What you should know

  • The camera that is linked to a cabinet is automatically linked to the related iFobs.
  • The video from the camera that was selected before the event occurs is the only video available in the reports. So, if you change the camera that is linked to a cabinet, the newly selected camera video is not available for prior events.

Procedure

  1. From the Config Tool homepage, open the Area view task.
  2. Select a cabinet or an iFob (asset).
  3. In the Relationships section of the Identity tab, click Cameras, and then click .
  4. In the Search dialog box, click the camera to assign to the cabinet, and then click Select.
  5. Click Apply.

Results

The camera is listed in the Relationship section. If you linked a camera to a cabinet, that camera is also added to all of the iFobs related to that cabinet.

When an event or alarm is triggered for the Traka entity, you can view the related video in the Monitoring and Alarm monitoring tasks.

After you finish

  • (Optional) In the Monitoring task of Security Desk, add the Traka cabinets and iFobs to the event monitoring list.
  • (Optional) In the Maps task of Security Desk, place the Traka cabinets on your maps.
  • Create groups of assets (iFobs).
