3. Click in the list to show the alarm rule interface.
Alarm Rule: The alarm rule varies according to different types. The rule is to compare the temperature information of two selected regions. For targets set by frame, the rules include: Max. Temperature is Higher than, Max. Temperature is Lower than, Min. Temperature is Higher than, Min. Temperature is Lower than, Average Temperature is Higher than, Average Temperature is Lower than, Temperature Difference is Higher than, and Temperature Difference is Lower than. For targets set by line, the rules include Max. Temperature, Min. Temperature, and Average Temperature. For targets set by point, the rules are distinguished by Average Temperature.
Pre-Alarm Temperature and Alarm Temperature: Set the pre-alarm temperature and alarm temperature. The device sends pre-alarm when its rule temperature exceeds pre- alarm temperature and sends alarm when its rule temperature exceeds alarm temperature.
