Incident projects and properties

When the administrators of the XProtect VMS have configured XProtect Incident Manager and have given you the necessary permissions, you can save all information about an incident in an incident project.

You can find all your saved incident projects on the Incidents tab. You can save as many incident projects as you want. There are 100 incident projects per page in the list, and the incident projects are sorted with the most recently created ones on the top. From the Incidents tab, you manage and update incident projects and share them with others through reports and exports.

The information you can add to and the properties you can define in incident projects are:

• Sequences with video and, potentially, audio from the XProtect VMS

• Incident properties like type, status, categories, and data elements

• Information like comments, descriptions, and information about calls

The XProtect VMS administrators define what incident properties are available to assign to your incident projects. You can always add free text information and sequences from the XProtect VMS to the incident projects.

When you create a new incident project, you can define the incident type A detail about an incident. With a type, you categorize what kind of incident it is. Examples of incident types are: Theft, Car accident, Trespassing. and give it a description. When the incident project is created, you typically want to add additional information. From the Incidents tab, you double-click the incident project to open it. Then you add and edit the different information and properties available on the various tabs. When needed, you can share the information in the incident projects with others by creating reports and exports.
