Summary:
The white light alarm can be activated through a combination of event triggers such as AI based MD, IVA, and tampering detection. The white light can be turned on during the “Dwell time” and can be used as a welcome, or it can be used as a blinking warning alarm. In a dark environment monitored by IR, by turning on the white light alarm, people can receive a visual warning that may help to prevent crime.
