What is the Show on Alarm Layout action?
Nx Witness's Alarm Layout is a System-generated Layout which displays cameras based on specific events and rules set up in the Nx Witness Event Rules Engine.
How to set up a Show on Alarm Layout action:
- Right click on the camera (in the Resource Panel or Viewing Grid) and select Camera Rules to open the Event Rules Dialog.
- Under the Event section (on the left side of the rule dialog) choose your target System Event (e.g. Motion, Soft Trigger, etc).
- In the Action section of the rule (on the right side of the rule dialog) in the Do field select Show on Alarm Layout.
- In the Interval of Action field configure how often the Rule should run when triggered.
- In the for section choose the roles / users the notification should appear for.
- To make sure the Alarm Layout opens for targeted operators check the Force Alarm Layout opening checkbox.
- Optional: Check the Also show source camera checkbox
- Press Apply and Ok to save the rule.

I got a system with multiple client computers, is it possible to control witch of these will show the alarm layout? I do not want it to pop up on all 5 clients.
I also wonder if its possible to put the alarm layout on the video wall.
I got another request:
Make it possible to show web page, local file or just a text note on alarm layout together with cameras.
So that when a camera pops up, a instruction with information about how to handle the alarm can show up together with the live video.
