automatic clip creation is completed, the corresponding alarms (Input Activated and
Motion) will be automatically rearmed the next time the application is opened.
The user can enable the Automatic Rearm feature from the Alarm Handling Options window
(opened with the Rapid Eye View application, View menu
shown in Figure 11-12.
Please note that:
• When the Rapid Eye software is installed and started for the first time, it does not have
any information about the alarms that are not rearmed. Therefore automatically
rearming alarms will not be supported on the initial startup. After the application has
been running and alarm callbacks are received, it maintains information about the
status of the alarms (Rearmed / Not Rearmed). If the application shuts down in the
middle of clip creation, pending Input Activated and Motion alarms will be
automatically rearmed the next time the application starts.
• The Automatic Rearm feature is system dependent. That is, this feature will be
supported only from the server that has been configured as the Alarm Station.
• While trying to automatically rearm, if any of the sites are unreachable, alarms from
those sites will remain in their non-rearmed state.
