About Video Driver alarms

All video surveillance systems that are built on the API from the Video Framework module (videoDriver.jar) support alarming in two directions.

A video camera sends a video surveillance alarm, such as motion detected, to the station where a security guard can view the video and trigger an appropriate action. Standard system alarms can travel from the station to the video surveillance system where they can re-orient the camera and initiate video recording.
