We are looking for some workaround to meet customer exceptions who want to migrate the severance system from <another_VMS> to Nx.

What we want to do
- To implement a complex alarm handler for remote patrol 
- Creating a report for remote patrols

About remote patrol
Customers using <another_VMS>, use the alarm function to activate some screen layouts, so-called the view group, to encourage security guards to check designated view to check the camera at a set time.

To trigger events, customers use alarm functionality and set the corresponding screen layout. So once the alarm is activated, the security guard can see some view groups and check the cameras.
Current our head achke is, <another_VMS> can create a sequence to trigger and manage multiple alarm handlers. Thus, they can handle a very complex event like...

For each remote patrol is able to consiste
alarm 1 ... Mon, Wed, Fri 13:00 
alarm 2 ... Thu 14:00 
alarm 3 ... Sat, Sun 15:00

I am not sure how to create such a complex alarm event on Nx.
Also, this alarm handler has several parameters and functionality. 

Also, we want to be clear about whether the following function Nx has or not.

1. Not only view gropu, able to playback 10 sec in advance, How?
(*) if time is set 14:00, the owner wants security guards  to check 10 sec before the time that the supervisor set, thus, 13:59:50 will be located and playback.

2. Beep sound when a alarm is activated.
Once an event is triggered, a beep sound should be keep to avoid forgetting to check the camera. How to keep beep sound?

3. Making a report
If the security guard detects something, they must make a report. Current users write report with <another_VMS>, they does not use another application to write it. How to integrate this function to Nx.

Summary
- We are looking forward to hearing your advice.
- How to set playback time
- How to implement report functionally
- How to save report on Nx

Thank you for reading the questions ;D

  Hi Yoshitaka,

  I believe most functionality can be implemented via nx rules engine.

   

  Customers using Xprotect, use the alarm function to activate some screen layouts, so-called the view group, to encourage security guards to check designated view to check the camera at a set time.

  You can use open layout action in rules engine to open specific layout for a specific moment in time.

  1. Not only view gropu, able to playback 10 sec in advance, How?
  (*) if time is set 14:00, the owner wants security guards  to check 10 sec before the time that the supervisor set, thus, 13:59:50 will be located and playback.

  Open layout action allows you to configure this. In rule option you can select if you need live stream or delayed:

  

  2. Beep sound when a alarm is activated.
  Once an event is triggered, a beep sound should be keep to avoid forgetting to check the camera. How to keep beep sound?

  there are play/repeat sound action in the rule engine which will allow to do this.

  3. Making a report
  If the security guard detects something, they must make a report. Current users write report with XProtect, they does not use another application to write it. How to integrate this function to Nx.

  Can you give more details on this? Do they send this report to third party system or how it can be checked after submitted? As an option, security guards can create bookmarks marking intervals of recorded video archive with tags and description.

  Hi Anton
  
  Thank you very much for answering our questions. 
  
  For making a report functions as following.
  - Created report can be save into local drive as PDF
  - in this function, just comment can be leaved by a security guard.
  
  The screen shot is attached. As you can see. only the filed, comment in Japanese, is editable. the rest of filed are filed with respective info from corresponding alarm handler.

  Hello Yoshitaka Muroi ,

  - How to implement report functionally
  - How to save report on Nx

  You could develop a web page, which would be opened in the GUI client. The page would request all the information needed from the Server via API. This page can be opened on a layout and present a kind of report.

  See the "Web pages" in the left tree in the GUI client.
