Event categories allow you to group events. The configuration of event categories affects the behavior of access control in the XProtect system and allows you to, for example, define an alarm to trigger a single alarm on multiple event types.

Access Control Event |
Lists the access control events imported from the access control system. The integration plug-in controls default enabling and disabling of events. You can disable or enable events any time after the integration. When an event is enabled, it is stored in the XProtect event database and is, for example, available for filtering in the XProtect Smart Client. |
Source Type |
Shows the access control unit that can trigger the access control event. |
Event Category |
Assign none, one or more event categories to the access control events. The system automatically maps relevant event categories to the events during integration. This enables a default setup in the XProtect system. You can change the mapping at any time. Built-in event categories are:
Events and event categories defined by the integration plug-in also appear, but you can also define your own event categories, see User-defined Categories. Important: If you change the event categories in a Corporate system, ensure that the existing access control rules still work. |
User-defined Categories |
Allows you to create, modify or delete user-defined event categories. You can create event categories when the built-in categories do not meet your requirements, for example, in connection with defining triggering events for access control actions. The categories are global for all integration systems added to the XProtect system. They allow setting up cross-system handling, for example on alarm definitions. If you delete a user-defined event category, you receive a warning if it is used by any integration. If you delete it anyway, all configurations made with this category, for example access control actions, do not work anymore. |
