Understanding the Zone Alarm & Video Event Interval

Understanding the Zone Alarm & Video Event Interval

Every Alarm Zone on the Bridge has a "Video Event Delivery Delay" option. 

When this Alarm Input is tripped on the Bridge, the Bridge will ignore any additional alarms on this zone for 10 seconds.  This timer is from initial alarm trip of the zone.  If the zone is Normally Open, then the 10-second timer starts when the zone closes.  If the zone is a Normally Closed zone, then the 10-second timer starts when the zone opens.  If the zone trips multiple times within the 10-second timer, the initial trip will create the alarm video, the last restoral will create the restoral video. 

The default time for this setting is 10 seconds.  This value can be adjusted.

The setting is found on the Alarm tab of the zone settings:
