The Alarm Console lets you manually speak or play a sound at a remote AIRA server installation. This is useful when manually responding to an alarm event in real-time, where you may wish to ward off trespassers. To access the Alarm Console, select Server > Alarm Console.
Usage
Speak over Loud Speaker |
In the Speak over Loud Speaker section, users can type in text which will be played at the remote location. The master list is a text file that contains different spoken strings, and it appears in the "This is private property." combo box above. It is client-side meaning it is located where AIRA Explorer is installed. This means that if you have multiple people connecting to the AIRA server from different locations they will each have their own list of things that they can say. |
Say it |
After typing new text in the Speak over Loud Speaker combo box, or select existing strings from the combo box, click Say it to play the text at the remote location. AIRA converts the text string into voice at the remote site. |
Add to master list |
You can add text to the master list which will be available as an option in he Speak over Loud Speaker combo box for future use. |
Remove from master list |
You can remove stored text from the master list. |
