Viewing Alarm Events
When responding to a Standard Media alarm, the Camera button will be displayed on the activation details screen. Clicking this button will show a list of events related to the activation. If there was an image and/or a URL in the event email then these will be displayed.
Verification images can only be viewed during the activation itself.
