Creating Projects

If a fault is detected and you wish to prevent alarms being broadcast by the device for a specific time period, you can create a 'maintenance project'. Projects can be used to define a set period of time when alarms are suppressed. During this defined period, any alarms coming through or any errors occurring on that DVR or camera will be logged in the system but will not be broadcast to clients. You can specify at a PSN or camera level or to a more granular level for specific alarms.

To set up a maintenance project, click New Project from your fault screen. This option is located in the top right of the screen and is only available if the fault relates to a DVR, camera or alarm. When you create a project directly from the faults list, it will automatically populate with the relevant device.

Note: If you are not seeing the web-based screen (shown) for this page, go to the Client Configuration Settings and set projectsWebUI to true.

Enter a name and description for your project.

Define the project start and end time. During this time, alarms will be suppressed.

Click Add Devices to select any other PSNs, cameras and/or alarms that should be suppressed.

These will then also display as selected devices in the project.

Click Schedule Maintenance to now create the project. Once created, you can return to the faults list.

The scheduled maintenance project will have been added to the project list. This can be viewed anytime from Setup -> System Setup -> Advanced Maintenance -> Users -> Setup Projects.
