The Alarms Report shows if a camera is not working properly. Alarms that are related to each other are handled according to severity. This decreases the number of alarms you receive in the report for related issues, enabling you to focus on the most severe issues at hand. Alarms are saved in the cloud for 45 days.
For example, if there is no SD card inserted in a dashcam, two alarms could be raised: SD card not mounted, and recording failed 2 times in the last 24 hours. Instead, only the SD card not mounted alarm is raised, since it is the most severe.
From the Alarms Report area, you can export alarms reports, set email notifications, and add comments about actions taken for the each alert.
