These actions allow the system to open or close a contact connected to an I/O port that 
will start a siren or possibly turn on a spotlight.  They also can alert the operator by 
displaying cameras on a monitor during a triggered alarm. 
 
In order to configure alarms successfully, an...

When an alarm is triggered, an action will occur.  For example, causing a camera spot
