# Alarm Bar And Export Bar

The bar at the bottom of the MxManagementCenter contains the Alarm and Export bar. The Alarm bar turns red when there is an unacknowledged alarm event. This happens only if the Alarms option has been activated in the Camera Configuration dialog box and if the event types responsible for triggering an alarm have been activated.
Clicking on the bottom frame border of the open Alarm bar will take you from the Alarm bar to the Export bar. Using drag & drop, the Export bar provides a quick and easy way to collect recordings for subsequent exporting.
