This page explains the portal interface for alarm configuration on partner level. If you are not a superuser or above, with general camera permission for your partner account, you are on the wrong page. If you aren’t familiar with the core concepts of how alarms in the yellow portal work, I’d recommend reading up on that first: // TODO: core concepts
The alarm overview page
...
The alarm overview page is accessible through the side bar navigation, for all users of level superuser and above, with general camera permissions for their partner account.
...
The alarm configuration page is split into four major sections: The general configuration, the default peripherals, the condition and the action. To learn more about the concepts behind these terms, please refer to this page: // TODO: core concepts
...
...
General Parameters
The general parameters allow setting a name and description for your alarm, as well as more precisely configure the times at which actions should or should not be executed.
...
The default camera peripherals section allows you to configure a pattern that specifies what sort of cameras this alarm is intended for. You can immediately add the alarm to all cameras matching the pattern by clicking on the “Apply to cameras” button. // TODO: New cameras
You can assign each peripheral to the exclude or include list, or none of them (remove a peripheral from either list by clicking on the peripherals name). For more conceptual information about default peripherals, refer to the // TODO: alarm concepts page
...
Exclude: A camera that has any peripherals that are in the exclude list will not have the alarm added to it when applying the alarm to all cameras. For example, if Solar and Heater are in the exclude list, and a camera has either a solar or a heater peripheral, it will not receive the alarm by default.
...
This paragraph does not cover the function and configuration of specific conditions and actions. for that information, please refer to the dedicated page // TODO: Link Conditions and Actions
To the left, you have to configure one condition for your alarm, that determines when a camera using this alarm will have its alarm state change. Conditions are always evaluated for a specific camera. You can choose a type of condition, then configure it further to fit your specific needs (note: At this early stage there is only the Camera Event Condition, but more are to follow).
The widget to the right allows you to define several actions to your alarm, one for each type (Note: Right now, there’s only the Email Notification action available, but more are planned in the future). Actions will be executed for a specific camera when the state of a camera alarm changes to ALARM and all other requirements are fulfilled (see // TODO: Anchor Link general parameters).
