Summary:

The white light alarm can be activated through a combination of event triggers such as AI based MD, IVA, and tampering detection.  The white light can be turned on during the “Dwell time” and can be used as a welcome, or it can be used as a blinking warning alarm.  In a dark environment monitored by IR, by turning on the white light alarm, people can receive a visual warning that may help to prevent crime.

The steps below walk you through enabling the white light alarm utilizing a camera event.

Step By Step Guide:

  1. Log in to the camera's web interface.

  2. Navigate to Setup > Video & Audio > Camera Setup.

  3. Click the LED light tab to configure the settings of the LED Light.
    • Mode: select Light Alarm and then Flashing or Constant
    • Minimum duration: select the amount of time for the light to stay active, up to 30s
    • Level:  select a level of 1 - 5 for the light intensity, 5 being the strongest

 

Note: You can set an activation time for the light to flash or remain constant so events
trigger during a different time period than when you want the white light LED to activate.
