New Features

Bulk Alarm Clear

We have now added the ability for Administrators to bulk clear alarm events directly from the main queue. This can be useful during times of testing or if there is an unexpected flood of nuisance alarms.

The administrator will need to select a closure category and provide a note explaining the closure. The closed events are fully audited and viewable in the event history.

See Support Page for more details

 

Action Plan: Outcome Category Selection with Quick Close

This new Action Plan step allows you to enforce specific category selections from within the operator action plans. It can even be used to fully acknowledge and quickly close out of an alarm event by clicking the Action Step.
See Support page for more details

 

Quick End

For those who need an even faster way to end an alarm event there is now the "Quick End" button.

Administrators can choose a Category to be assigned to the button. This will then allow operators (with the appropriate permissions) to close an entire alarm event (automatically assigning the outcome category) with a single click or with the keyboard shortcut Shift+Q

See Support page for more details

Event Processing Map - Update Alarm Location

This feature has been available for some users for a while, and is now ready to roll out to all accounts by default.

Media Matrix - Auto Populate

This feature has been in use by a number of customers for some time, and is now ready to be released to all accounts.  In cases where there are multiple alarms within the event, Media Matrix will now automatically populate up to 9 clips from all alarms—without the operator needing to manually click each alarm individually.

In the example below two alarms were received—an access denied followed by a door forced. The clips from both alarms will load automatically, rather than just the first one.

image10.png

image19.png

The operator still has complete control, and is able to change any media matrix cell with a different live camera or alarm clips as required. 

If your operation prefers to work with the previous style, where operators manually choosing the clips to view one alarm at a time, please contact SureView Support and we’ll be able to switch your Media Matrix settings back to manual.
