Rules

A rule consists of a name, an event type, and a corresponding zone. A rule represents a zone. It is called a rule because each zone can have one type but two events (alarm / restore). Therefore two different types are needed in Ocularis Recorder to use them with alarm scenarios.

  1. Click the Add new rule or Add 10 new rules button to create one or ten new rules.
  2. Activate the desired rules and change the name.
  3. Select the event that is to trigger an alarm message.
    The alarm system distinguishes between the burglar alarm and panic alarm events. Specify the type of alarm in the rule.
  4. Enter the detector group to set the ID of the device that sends the alarm signal.
  5. Apply the set values if you want to make further settings.
  6. Save the set values to apply the values and conclude input.

The following event types sent by the Siemens Intrusion Control Panel can be processed as rules by Ocularis 5 Recorder:
