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 a signal received with standard media (image/audio/video) then this media will be displayed or played.

Verification media can only be viewed during the activation itself.
