Alarms 

Netcam Watcher Professional includes an Alarm facility. Alarms are generated 

when more than a certain amount of motion occurs and/or when a camera 

goes offline (i.e., communications is lost). The Alarms for a camera are 

configured by clicking the Alarms button on the Edit Netcam dialog, or by 

selecting Edit Alarms for Current Camera from the Edit menu. 

The top panel, Global or Individual Alarm Settings selects whether you use 

the default settings for this camera, or use individual settings. 

You can Copy the current global settings by clicking the button in this panel. 

The Alarm Filter panel enables single event filtering. If enabled, more than one 

motion event is required to trigger an alarm.  The time box lets you specify how 

far motion events must be apart to be considered single events. 

The Generate Alarm if Camera Offline checkbox enables the alarm when 

communications with the camera is lost. 

The Local Alarm panel lets you configure alarms that produce actions on the 

PC that Netcam Watcher Professional is running on:

You can view the Alarm Log using Show Alarm Log on the Alarms menu.
