BVMS – CC Events and Alarms
Events: Introduction
 A circumstance or state of the system that can be used to trigger an alarm and/or an action.

 Events can:
• Arise from many sources such as cameras, encoders, directories, digital inputs, etc.
• Include start-recording states, loss of signal states, disk full messages, user logons, digital input
triggers, etc.
• Be use to trigger an alarm
• Be logged to logbook
• Trigger the execution of command scripts:
• BVMS Server “scriptlet” (depends on event type)
• The right place to begin your scripting journey
• Can be combined to form a compound trigger for an alarm
• Specify different event state priority

Events: Concept

Trigger Alarm (Schedule):


Depending on the event the value is set to “Never” or “Always”
An Alarm message in Operator Client will appear when “Always” is configured.
Never means => No Alarm message will be generated in OP-Client

Can you remember to the purpose of a Task schedule?


Here you can use it and assign a task schedule to an event.

Basic Events: Camera
Important event for detecting recording issues due to
e.g. Unstable Network
 Storage State -> Storage State Failure

Description:
Primary recording of camera failed to write to the iSCSI storage, e.g. due to network
problems or unavailability of the iSCSI storage
By default this event triggers an alarm message with Priority 20

Possible Impact:
Recording gaps may be caused when the camera buffer for recordings reaches the
limit due to network outages.

Alarms: Alarm list in the Operator Client

What is the purpose of the buttons Accept, Workflow, Clear and Un-Accept? Example:
1. Operator A (Operator B and C are working in parallel) will “Accept” the Alarm (take over responsibility).
 After that the Alarm will disappear in the Alarm list of Operator B and C.
2. Operator A (optional if configured): A workflow has to be processed before “Clear” is possible
3. Operator A (optional): Before clearing the Alarm, it can be “Un-Accepted”, so it will appear again in the
Alarm lists of the Operator A, B and C.
4. Operator A: Alarm can be “Cleared” only by the operator who “Accepted” the Alarm.

 Priority
• 100 is lowest priority; 1 is highest priority; Default is 20
• Priority behavior depends on user settings and can be configured on User group level:

• Assign Priority lower than 10 => Alarm will interrupt your work
immediately on Op-Client with an Alarm Pop-Up Window
(+ listed in Alarm Window). Work means e.g. watching live view
or doing some research via replaying recordings.

• Assign Priority higher than 10 => Alarm will be shown in Alarm


Window of the Op-Client and Alarm Pop-Up will be shown
only after manual acceptance of the operator

• Auto-clear alarm (two options):
• After configured time (global Alarm settings)

• When the states goes back to normal

• Prevent alarm clearing details:


• If the option is enabled:
• No auto-clear after configured time is possible for
the same alarm
• The alarm which has a still active trigger event cannot
be cleared
• The user is informed with the self closing message box about
the active event state when trying to clear the protected alarm
• The “Prevent alarm” option is not available for peak alarms
also called “fire and forget” alarms. For example “virtual input
data” or “Operator client event button pressed”.
For these specific alarm the option is blocked:

 Workflow
• In order to prevent the operator being
flooded with alarms, the new triggered
alarms can be suppressed if the same
alarm is already available in the system
• If the option is enabled:
• No further alarms are created as long as the
same alarm exists in alarm pane in active,
workflow or accepted state
• The duplicated events are still logged in the
log book and event de-bouncing is still active
• The duplicated events will not trigger another
alarm action like SMS, recording,
prepositions, etc. (actions are not retriggered)
• Same behavior for SDK notifications

defined amount of time before the event state is back to normal (e.g. gate is opened and forgotten to be closed again).
 This can be configured globally for all recordings in BVMS Configuration Client / Settings / Alarm Settings / Set the duration limit
for state-triggered alarm recordings:

 If the feature is enabled a state controlled alarm recording shall be stopped after a given time. If the trigger state of the event

Alarms with high priority: Example and Recommendation

When defining a high priority to an Alarm e.g. 5 it is very useful to assign as well minimum one Alarm Image
pane. It can be a Camera in Live view, a Map or a HTML-Document (whatever is part of the logical tree in
Operator Client). What is the expected behaviour in Operator Client when this Event is triggered?

Priority 5 and Image Pane 1 configuration


results into a immediate alarm pop-up
window in Operator Client no matter what
is currently shown (live view or replay).

Without defining an Alarm Image Pane the


Alarm will come up as part of the Alarm list
but the whole Alarm List comes up
immediately to the front of the screen

 Use one Camera (1st ) and enable Motion+ or IVA triggers. Select only a small area (window) of the total filed
of view of the camera where no movement happens. Alternatively use trip wire IVA as trigger.
Make sure the trigger is not coming too often (somebody moves permanently inside the detection area)

 Motion based recording with 5 seconds pre and post alarm time.

 Trigger a second camera (2nd) to record as well based on the trigger from first camera
(Watch out: not based on the trigger coming form the 2nd camera! Motion detection on the 2nd camera: off )

 Verify recordings of both cameras after motion has been detected

 Bonus: Switch off management server and verify whether both cameras continue their recording behavior as
before

 Recap, before BVMS 9.0: The already existing icon coloring/blinking on the map feature (introduced in BVMS
6.0) provides an operator a quick device state (online, motion detected, etc.) overview on the map.
The feature is based on device events only i.e. device icon coloring fades only if its state has changed.
Operator has less control over the icon highlighting.

 This feature remains in BVMS9.0 unchanged

Alarms: Advanced state display on maps
 Compound alarms are supported. In case of alarm the icons of all compound event components on the map will
blink (valid for OR and AND condition).

 Compound alarms are supported also with the components that have no icons on the map e. g. schedules.
In this case only those components which are present on the map will blink.

 In general: When does a icon stop blinking on the map? Example with 2 operator clients active:
 First operator: Has accepted the alarm (optional: workflow state when configured)  Blinking still on for the first operator
 Second operator: Icon stops blinking as first operator has already accepted the alarm
 First operator: Clears the alarm  Blinking stops also for the first operator

Alarms: Advanced state display on maps
 If the alarm is re-added to the alarm list (the other operator has un-accepted alarm), the icon on the map starts
blinking again.

 If there are multiple alarms existing for the same device, the icon on the map blinks with the color of alarm with
the higher priority (lower priority value).

 If all existing alarms for the device are of the same priority, the icon on the map blinks with the color of the
most recent alarm.

Bonus Scripting: Exercise
 Create 2x server script, one to close and one to open an relay contact of
an selected camera

 Use the script examples provided by the Trainer

 Add the relay to the logical tree to see the status (open/close)

 Add the script to an motion triggered event (use the event from the previous exercise)

 When motion is detected, the script shall close the relay. No motion => open the relay
