Alert processing

Since iCatcher Console 6.0, the processing of alerts has been integrated with iCatcher Console rather then separately by an external process.

If you want to revert to using the original iCatcher Alert, make sure you untick "Use integrated alert processing" and restart iCatcher Console. Alerts will once again be created in the configured history folder for a separately managed iCatcher Alert to process.

Arming

This sections contains the settings for the alert arming.

The alerting can be armed automatically on start up in case of power failures.

The delay to wait before sending alerts can also be changed. This allows you to set the time needed to get out of the building, before it will start sending alerts, as well as the delay before alerts are sent when it's armed, allowing you time to get back in.
