Alarm Log

The Alarm Log panel shows a list of alarms for connected servers.

By default, the Alarm Log panel is docked inside the main view. The Alarm Log panel can be dragged into a second monitor and configured to display more information. 

In Advanced Mode, the Alarm Log panel provides detailed information: camera view, alarm details, thumbnails of alarms.

The Calendar allows you to load alarms for all connected servers for a specific date. Days displayed in bold weight font contain video data.
