Add a time profile (for alarms)
Time profiles are periods of time used for the Alarms feature only.
To add a time profile for an alarm, do the following:
1. Expand Alarms, right-click Time Profiles, and select Create New. The small month overview
in the top right corner of the Time Profile Properties window can help you get a quick
overview of the time periods covered by the time profile, as dates containing specified times
are highlighted in bold.
2. In the calendar, select the Day View, Week View, or Month View tab, then right-click inside
the calendar and select either Add Single Time... or Add Recurring Time....
3. If you select Add Single Time..., specify Start time and End time. If the time is to cover whole
days, select the All-day event box.
—or—
If you select Add Recurring Time..., specify time range, recurrence pattern, and range of
recurrence. Click OK.
4. Save your configuration changes by clicking Save in the yellow notification bar in the upper-
right corner of the Management Application.
When you edit an existing time profile, remember that a time profile may contain more than one time
period, and that time periods may be recurring.
Analytics events are typically data received from external third-party video content analysis (VCA)
providers. An example of a VCA-based system could be an access control system.
