Name Description
Keep closed alarms for
Specify the number of days for which to keep closed alarms, that is
alarms in the states Closed, Ignore, and Reject. This is normally
set to a low number, such as three days, but you can define any
number up to 99999 days, server space permitting. You can use the
value 0 to indicate keep closed alarms indefinitely (server space
permitting).
Keep all other alarms for
Specify the number of days for which to keep all other alarms,
meaning alarms not in the states Closed, Ignore, and Reject. This
is normally set to a somewhat higher number, such as 30 days, but
you can define any number up to 99999 days, server space
permitting. You can use the value 0 to indicate that you want to
keep all other alarms indefinitely, server space permitting.
IMPORTANT: Alarms often have associated video recordings.
While the alarm information itself is stored on the event server, the
associated video recordings are fetched from the relevant
surveillance system server when users wish to view them.
Therefore, if it is vital that you have access to video recordings from
all your alarms, make sure that video recordings from relevant
cameras are stored on relevant surveillance system servers for at
least as long as you intend to keep alarms on the event server.
Keep logs for
Specify the number of days for which to keep the Alarms log.
Default is 30 days. The value of 0 indicates that you want to keep
logs indefinitely (server space permitting).
Log server communication
Specify if you want to save a separate log of server communication
in addition to the regular log for the number of days specified.
