The list is updated every 3 seconds.
Tip: You can select multiple alarms or events in one go, in which case video from up to 16 cameras
associated with the selected alarms or events will be displayed in the alarm preview position.
To allow for optimum performance, the list by default displays a maximum of 100 alarms or events at a
time. To browse to the previous/next alarms or events, simply use the buttons in the top right part of
the alarm list position.
Alarm List settings
In setup mode (see "Enter setup mode" on page 34), you can select whether or not you want to see
the alarms or events grouped by servers in a navigation tree and how many alarms or events you want
the list to display at a time. This is also where you specify whether you want the alarm list to display
alarms or events.
Name Description
Show navigation tree
Select to display the navigation tree on the left of the alarm list. We
recommend that you keep this option selected, because the
navigation tree provides an overview of alarm priorities and states,
and
—not least—the number of alarms in each priority and state.
Max. rows to fetch
Controls the maximum number of lines to fetch and display in the
alarm list. By default, the alarm list displays up to 100 lines, that is
up to 100 alarms or events at a time. This provides a good
response time, since fetching and displaying larger numbers of
alarms or events can take time. There can of course easily be more
than 100 alarms or events, and if you want to view more than the
first 100 alarms or events, you simply use the buttons in the top
right part of the alarm list to browse to the next alarms or events,
which will then be fetched and displayed.
In the field, you can set the maximum numbers of rows from 1 to
999, but remember that the more alarms or events in the list, the
longer it takes to display the list. If you change the number, note
that the number of rows in the list will not be updated until you
select another element than the Max. rows to fetch field, for
example a row in the alarm list.
