A rule generates alarms in Symphony. Alarms can occur as a result of an event (such as motion detected) or a signal from another device (such as a door access device). Rules can be set up only if some form of analytic is running against a camera.
By default, the following rules are configured:
• Camera Tamper
• Lost Camera Connection
Events Define what causes an alarm, such as motion detected, people loitering, door access, etc.
Action Defines what actions Symphony should take after the alarm is detected.
Schedule Defines when the alarm Rule is active.
