## Alarm Settings

New events will increase the counter at the Alarms button . Click on to see the event that triggered the alert. Click again on to open the Playback view and to position it on the event you viewed the last time.

If the Alarms option has been activated in the Camera Configuration, the alarm and alarm info bars will turn red and will inform you about the events that triggered the alert. In addition, you can choose to receive an alarm message and an alarm sound. To do so, activate the Alarms option in Notifications (Mac: menu MxManagementCenter > Settings; Windows: menu File > Settings) and select the alarm sound, alarm duration and volume.

Note that you can also activate the Privacy Mode in the alarm settings. This feature can disable and lock certain features of the camera for a specific period of time. This mode is valid for 24 hours. Note that you can also deactivate the mode manually before the 24 hours have passed. Click on and select the features that you want to switch off. If the Privacy Mode icon appears in the top right corner of the camera image, this mode has been activated.
