Opening the server doors will trigger a camera to start recording, alerts to be displayed in Monitor Center, and notifications to be sent to your phone. Smoke detected Connect to a smoke detector and set up an action rule to trigger an LED light upon detecting smoke. The location of the event will be highlighted in Maps in Monitoring Center, allowing security personnel to easily find the exact spot.
