To initiate an alarm manually, you must perform the following steps:

1. Switch to real-time video surveillance mode (see the section Switching to Live Video Mode).
   
2. In the lower-left corner of the viewing tile, click the  button.

3. An alarm will then be initiated in the system and the viewing tile will automatically switch to alarm mode for evaluation of the situation.

   When in Alarm Management mode, the user that initiated the alarm will be indicated at the bottom of the viewing tile.

   
   

Manual initiation of an alarm is now complete.
