14.4 Simulate alarm
The menu Action -> Simulate Alarm enables the simulation of alarms for test
and/or practice purposes. This function may only be called up if it has been
released in the “configuration mode".
14.5 Display alarm messages
In the event of an alarm, an alarm text can be specified using recording
configuration for each camera and each alarm type (movement, contact with
normal priority, contact with raid priority). This alarm message is displayed together
with the name of the camera, both in display and playback modes at the bottom
edge of the live or recorded images (see
Fig. 26).

A user should confirm this message. The message and confirmation are recorded
in the logbook. The message disappears if no confirmation is received within 15
minutes. An entry is then made in the logbook that the message was not
confirmed. If several messages occur that are not confirmed, only the first
message is displayed and registered for each camera.
With alarm messages it is possible to give the user instructions etc. about what
further action should be taken by the user in the event of any such alarm.
14.6 Acoustic alarm
In the menu Action -> Acoustic alarm on it is possible to define by marking a
checkbox whether SISTORE MX is to send out a brief acoustic signal in the case
of an alarm occurring.
14.7 Cancel alarm
If the option Breakable by user is activated in the alarm configuration, an alarm
that has been triggered can be cancelled manually. This will be registered in the
logbook. This function is not available in SISTORE MX RemoteView.
