Auto pop-up alarms
Alarms can be configured to automatically display (pop up) in the Alarm Image window, based
on the alarm priority. Each user group's live and playback displays are also assigned priorities.
When alarms are received with priority higher than that of the user's display, the alarm
automatically displays its alarm row in the Alarm Image window. If the Alarm Image window is
not currently displayed, it automatically replaces the Live or Playback Image window on the
alarm-enabled monitor.
Although auto pop-up alarms are displayed in the Alarm Image window, they are not
automatically accepted. They can be displayed on multiple users' displays simultaneously.
When a user accepts an auto pop-up alarm, it is removed from all other users Alarm Lists and
alarm displays.
25.2 Connecting Bosch Allegiant Matrix to Bosch Video
Management System
The Bosch Video Management System Allegiant Matrix interface provides seamless access to
analog matrix cameras in the Operator Client interface. Allegiant cameras appear almost
identical to IP cameras. The only difference is a small grid symbol on the camera to indicate
that it is a Allegiant camera. You can display cameras using the same tasks as for IP cameras.
They are included both in the Logical Tree and the site maps, and users can add them to their
Favorites Trees. In-video-window control for Allegiant-connected PTZ cameras is supported,
and you can easily display Allegiant cameras on analog monitors connected to IP decoders.
Bosch Video Management System provides an interface to the matrix switch via the Allegiant
MCS (Master Control Software) application). The MCS, in this case, runs invisibly in the
background. This software provides an efficient, event-driven interface to the Allegiant. It
provides fast, real-time event response from the Allegiant to Bosch Video Management
System. So, for example, if a defective coax cable results in video loss in the Allegiant, an
immediate notification is sent to Bosch Video Management System. Also, you can program
Bosch Video Management System to respond to Allegiant alarms.

Image window. You can step through the stacked alarms with the controls at the left side
of the alarm row.
You can step through the alarm stacks on analog monitor groups with control buttons in
the Monitors window of the Operator Client workstation display. Analog monitors in
alarm are indicated by red icons with blinking "LEDs".
The alarm title, time, and date can be optionally be displayed on all analog monitors, or
only the first monitor in the alarm row.
For equal priority alarms, the administrator can configure the order behavior:
– Last-in-First-out (LIFO) mode: in this configuration, new alarms are inserted above
older alarms of the same priority.
– First-in-First-out (FIFO) mode; in this configuration, new alarms are inserted below
older alarms of the same priority.
An alarm's Image row can appear in the Alarm Image window in one of two ways:
– When it is generated (auto pop-up). This occurs when the alarm priority is higher
than display priority.
– When the alarm is accepted. This occurs when the alarm priority is lower than
display priority.
