Incidents in PADS4 are automatically generated when specific rules are triggered within defined areas. These rules help monitor and manage security, occupancy, and environmental conditions.

For an overview of how sensors interact with incidents, check the How to Use Sensors page.

​
How Incidents Are Created

  • Incidents are tied to Areas where rules are applied.
  • Rules define thresholds (e.g., maximum occupancy, temperature limits, facemask detection).
  • When a threshold is exceeded, PADS4 creates an incident automatically.
