Disarming Page Enhancements:
-
- Disarm Alarm Linkage Action (This option mainly controls alarm linkage actions performed by the NVR itself)
- When Disarm is selected: All selected linkage actions will be disabled.
- When Arm is selected: The Disarm effect is removed, and all NVR event linkage actions will function according to their configured event settings, regardless of the selections in this section.
- Disarm Channel (This option mainly controls IPC Sound and Light alarm linkage actions)
- When Disarm is selected: The selected channels will have their audible and visual alarm linkage actions disarmed. The channel status can be verified on the Active Defence page, where the corresponding channels will be shown as Disarmed.
- When Arm is selected: The selected channels will have their audible and visual alarm linkage actions armed. The channel status can be verified on the Active Defence page, where the corresponding channels will be shown as Armed. (Note: The actual audible and visual alarm behavior still follows the channel's previously configured linkage settings.)
