I know alarms are managed by the Milestone VMS. I’m just wondering if I can add new alarms into ACAlarmRepository through some APIs in the similar way as we do for events.
Thank you.
You can create new alarms in the VMS using e.g. AlarmClient or NewAlarmCommand message, but unfortunately the access control objects (like doors, etc) are not easily available in the SDK and you will thus have a hard time defining the right sources for your alarms.
So currently you will have to configure Alarm Definitions for your access control events, and the alarms that occurs based on these will then become available in the ACAlarmRepository interface.
