Camera Tampering
Camera Tampering can genera te an alarm whenever the camera is repositioned, or when the lens is covered, sprayed or severely
defocused. To send an alarm, for example an email, an action rule must be set up.
To configure tampering:
1. Go to Detectors > Camera Tampering.
2. Set the Minimum duration, that is, the time that must elapse before an alarm is generated. This can help prevent false
alarms for known conditions that affect the image.
3. Select Alarm for dark images if an alarm should be generated if lights are d immed or turned off, or if the lens is sprayed,
covered, or rendered severely out of focus.
4. Click Save.
To configure the pro duct to send an alarm when tampering occurs:
1. Go to Events > Action Rules.
2. Click Add to set up a new action rule.
3. Enter a Name for the action rule.
4. Under Condition,selectDetectors from the Trigger list.
5. Select Tampering from the list of detectors.
6. Select the video channel.
7. Optionally, select a schedule and s et additional conditions
.
8. Select the action. To send an email, select Send Notifi
cation and select a Recipient from the list of defi ned rec ipients.
Note
The While the rule is active option under Duration cannot be u sed with camera tampering, since camera tampering does not
have a duration and once it has been triggered it will not automatically return to its untriggered state.
