5.6 CAM Logs

Set this function to record a few snapshots of the preceding and following event. Suppose you set recording of an applied card, for example. From now on, 5 snapshots before the card swipe and 3 snapshots after the card swipe will be recorded in the access logs. The images are taken in 1-second intervals. A storage of the size of 1, 3 or 5 GB has been created for the snapshots. See here for more details. When the storage is full, the oldest snapshots are deleted. The access logs are not deleted.

To create a CAM log, enter the log name and select one of the following notifications for the rule to be applied.

  • Take snapshots whenever the code is entered via the keypad.
• Card applied
  • Take snapshots whenever a card is applied. The snapshot is taken even if the user is not authorised.
• Tamper switch activated

  • Take a snapshot when the user activates the Silent alarm by entering a code that is higher by 1 than the right one. That means, the unlocking code is 123 and the Silent alarm code is 124. Or, when the user taps a finger to the fingerprint reader that is designated for Silent alarm activation.

Having entered the log name and selected an action, click Create. Once the CAM log is created, you are redirected to the CAM log detail.

Here choose the device(s) from which the CAM logs are to be downloaded. The access logs then display not only passage information but also an image displaying icon. No CAM logs are displayed for the intercoms that are not equipped with a camera.
