VMS alarm routing

Mapping AI events into VMS alarms, priorities, maps, or review queues.

What it means

VMS alarm routing is the process of converting a detected safety event into the alarm flow already used by control-room or security staff.

Why it matters

The VMS is often the system of record. Routing into it can reduce training burden and keep evidence review in one place.

Evaluation questions

Which VMS receives events?

How are priorities assigned?

Can the alarm open the right camera and bookmark the clip?
