You can monitor SDS Guardian events and alarms from Security Desk, using the Monitoring, Alarm monitoring, and Maps tasks.
Bookmarked video
When a sensor detects a gunshot, video from linked cameras is bookmarked. This makes it easy for you to see when a shooting occurred on the video timeline. Bookmarks help you build investigations more easily, and help to protect video evidence since bookmarked video is retained longer by the system. Automatic bookmarks can be disabled.Monitoring task
