Wandering Alarm - Create a protected area by placing a virtual monitor "fence"
around an area of the main map. These areas are defined in the transponder
database. If this transmitter will be constrained to remain within one of these defined
areas, first select the defining transponder in Transponder Name above. Then select
the desired area that the from this dropdown list of the transponder's area names.
For the Wandering Alarm to work the supervision period must also be programmed
for this transmitter.
Then specific transmitters are marked in the subscriber database to be constrained
within a specific fenced area defined by this option. If the transmitters leave their
defined area, the system will report this as a Wandering Alarm and continue to
monitor and track the location of the transmitter until the alarm is canceled from the
screen in the normal way. However these tracking updates can only occur every
supervision transmission period (not on an accelerated rate like a tracking alarm)
The Escort system computes the location of the transmitters when they broadcast
automatic supervision transmissions periodically.
Because of the basic location accuracy and the floor-to-floor accuracy of the system,
there is a potential for some false alarms. If false alarms are a problem, check the
Filter Virtual Fence checkbox in the Security Preferences dialog. If you do this two
successive location calculations will have to indicate the transmitter has moved
outside the protected area before an alarm is generated. The downside of this is a
delay in the reporting of a wandering alarm of one extra transmitter supervision
period.
This is the alarm group that controls the arm/disarm status of this transmitter. Select
the desired alarm group from the dropdown list of the alarm group names. This
alarm group must be armed, for this transmitter to cause an alarm, which is
displayed. If no alarm group is assigned, the transmitter is always armed.
When this checkbox is checked, this transmitter will have to be activated once each
day during the Check-in Schedule time. At the end of the check-in period if the
subscriber fails to check-in, a Failed to Check-in Report will be generated and
presented to the operator of the software. This report contains all of the people who
failed to check-in with their first address line and phone number. All subscribers in
the report must be checked on to make sure they are not in need of assistance, as
this may be a life-treating situation. A printed report may also be generated.
If the transmitter is not a point type, then the transmitter can generate alarms and
therefore a test transmission will be used for the check-in.
If the transmitter is a point type then any non-trouble transmission will serve as a
check-in.
One of the 10 schedules must be selected as the check-in schedule to define the
check-in period.
Click this button when all changes to this dialog are complete to return the main
Subscriber database edit dialog.
Each schedule individually can use the holiday dates as exceptions. If the Ignore
Holidays checkbox is checked then on the indicated holiday dates the schedules will
be active (armed) that entire day. If the Ignore Holidays checkbox is not checked
then the normal action of the schedules will take place on the holiday dates.
