Creating threat levels

2026-09-02Last updated

To configure a list of actions to activate in special situations for a specific area or the entire system, you can create a threat level.

Procedure

  1. In Genetec™ Configuration, open the Automation task and click the Threat levels tab.
  2. Click Add an item ().
  3. In the Threat level configuration dialog box, fill in the Name, Description, Logical ID (optional), and Color fields.
    Tip:
    Select a unique color for each threat level. When the threat level is set at the system level, users can easily recognize it because the background of Genetec™ Operation corresponds to the color of the threat level.
  4. In the Activation actions section, add the actions to perform when the threat level is set.
  5. In the Deactivation actions section, add the actions to perform when the threat level is cleared or replaced.
    Note:
    The system does not automatically clear a threat level. Explicitly define the actions that are triggered when the scenario ends.
  6. Click OK.
    The new threat level () appears on the threat level list.
  7. Click Apply.
