Sound & Light Alarm Configuration

Application Guide

For active deterrent camera integration, see the Active Deterrent Sound & Light Alarm application guide.

Retrieve configuration for active deterrent features -- audio alarm (siren/voice) and white light (strobe) alarm outputs. These are available on Viewtron cameras equipped with built-in speakers and white LED lights.

This page covers two endpoints:

  • GetAudioAlarmOutConfig -- audio alarm output settings
  • GetWhiteLightAlarmOutConfig -- white light strobe alarm settings
Version Note

v2.0 only. These endpoints are only available on cameras running v2.0 firmware. They are not supported on v1.9 devices.

Notes

  • These endpoints are read-only (Get). Active deterrent settings are typically configured through the camera's web interface.
  • Active deterrent features are only available on camera models with built-in speakers and white LED lights (e.g., dual-LED models).
  • Audio and white light alarms are triggered by the camera's AI detection events (perimeter, tripwire, etc.) based on the configured alarm linkage settings.
