Perform Action
By default, i-Vu CCN Pro performs an alarm action when the alarm source
generates an alarm
and
when it returns to normal. Under
Perform Action
you can
choose to:
• Run the alarm action only when the alarm source generates an alarm
or
when
it returns to normal.
• Wait for the specified amount of time, then run the alarm action if the alarm
has not been acknowledged or has not returned to normal. *
• Run if the alarm occurs during the occupied hours defined for a schedule
group or run if the alarm occurs during the unoccupied hours defined for a
schedule group. *
EXAMPLE: To have i-Vu CCN Pro perform one alarm action during work hours
and a different alarm action after work hours:
1. Create a schedule group (page 49), but do not assign members to it.

the work hours.

hours. Under
