Access request notifications

Access Request Notifications are pop-up notifications which appear in front of all other desktop applications for all users logged into the Smart Client with access to view XPA features and devices. These notifications can be customized in the Access Request Notifications menu. The XPA integration includes a Built-in Access Request Notification.

1. Go to the Access Request Notification menu.

2. Click the Add Access Request Notification button.

3. Name the new notification.

4. Associate cameras, speakers, microphones, and sounds.

5. Click the Add Command button and open the Command list to select which Commands appear on the Notification.

When the notification pops up on the desktop a sound will play if you choose to include a Sound alert. The Built-in Access Request Notification does not include a Sound alert.

Access Request Notifications can be used to trigger pop up notifications from within the XProtect rules system, and the notifications do not need to be connected to access control hardware devices.
