Video Alarm Recipient (videoDriver-VideoAlarmRecipient)
This component configures the video alarm console in the Supervisor station.
This component provides the ability to have a video driver component take special action, such as asking a video camera to start recording when an alarm occurs. The following list provides an outline of how this works.
- Add a VideoAlarmRecipient to the station under the AlarmService.
- From an appropriate AlarmClass component, link to the VideoAlarmRecipient RouteAlarm slot.
- From the VideoAlarmRecipient, link to a video driver component to serve as the video responder for alarm notifications.
- When the VideoAlarmRecipient receives an alarm from the alarm service, the video driver component takes a specific action (“start recording”, for example).

To set up, drag the component from the videoDriver palette (Alarm folder) to the AlarmService Wire Sheet view and link it to the recipient from the Default Alarm Class or other desired Alarm Class component.
