BioStar 2 - How to configure alerts

The alert feature is used to notify the BioStar administrator when specific device/door/zone/authentication event occurs. The Alert history can be accessed through the Alert History menu or the alert count on the bottom right corner of the BioStar web client. 


 

There are 3 ways the alert function will alert the event to the administrator. 
1. The specified event will be colored red (color is not customizable) on the real-time log. 


 

2. A popup message (message is customizable) will appear which the administrator can acknowledge or ignore.
