Associating cameras with ACS elements

Associating cameras with ACS elements

After you've connected your FortiRecorder to the ACS system, you can assign cameras to the ACS events in the ACS Source Map. For example, if you have camera A and camera B installed and pointed at the front entrance of the building, you can associate them with the front door.

  1. Go to ACS > Configuration > Source Map.
  2. Select a source such as a door.
  3. Click Edit.
  4. In the dialog, select the matching camera from the Camera List and click >> to move it to the Member list.
  5. When an ACS event occurs, you can view the video from the associated camera. See Monitoring ACS events.
