How to exempt a single camera from the global camera tamper rule

Issue

You want to use the global camera tamper rule for all but one camera. However, because it is a global rule, you cannot exempt a single camera.

Solution

For Axis Encoders:

1. In Symphony, disable the global camera tamper rule in the Server Configuration, Rules Summary screen.



 

2. While in the Rules Summary screen, launch the Rules Wizard by clicking New.
3. Create a new rule for EACH camera that you want to receive tamper alarms on.
4. Click Event and then select the camera under the IO and Motion Detection section.
5. Select the Camera Tamper option.



 

6. Click Next. The Action screen opens with the the Alarm tab active.
7. From the Choose a camera list, select the camera again.



 

8. Click Next. In the Schedule screen, create, name, and save a schedule.
