# Alarms Summary Page
The **Summary** page on the **Alarms** page gives you a high-level view of your alarms across locations, including armed/disarmed states, which locations have alarms enabled, and alarm camera health.
This article explains each section on the **Summary** page.
***
## Enable Summary Page
You must have the Alarm Summary user permission enabled to see the Summary page. You can enable this permission via Settings > [Users](/docs/manage-users-locations-and-your-account/users-page.md) if you are an administrator, or ask your Solink administrator to do this.
***
## Filter Summary Data
The data displayed on the **Summary** page is based on the currently selected locations (all **Active** and **Test** mode locations).
**Note**: Data is not displayed from disabled alarm locations.
Change the location(s) to narrow or expand the data shown on the Summary page.
**Note**: The date selector does not change the displayed data on the **Alarms Summary** page. The data on the page is shown in real-time.
***
## Overview Section
The **Overview** section shows:
* **Current Arm Status**
* **Active Locations**
* **Alarm Camera Health**
### Current Arm Status
**Current Arm Status** shows how many enabled locations are currently **armed** or **disarmed**, based on each location's schedule and any temporary overrides in effect right now.
| **State** | **Description** |
| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Armed** | Enabled locations that are currently armed. |
| **Disarmed** | Enabled locations that are currently disarmed. |
Select either the **Armed** or **Disarmed** tile to open the **Configure** tab with the location list filtered to matching locations (all locations that are armed or all locations that are disarmed).
The first matching location is selected automatically so you can review or update settings
For more information on automating arming and disarming, see [Alarm Schedule](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/alarm-setup/alarm-schedule.md).
### Active Locations
The Active Locations tile shows the following:
1. Total number of enable alarms locations (includes both enabled alarms and alarms in Test mode).
2. Total number of locations where alarms are disabled. Only displays when there is at least one disabled location. Select the **Disabled Locations** tile to open the **Configure** tab filtered to display all disabled locations.
For more information on enabling and disabling alarms, see [Activate an Alarm System](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/alarm-setup/activate-an-alarm-system.md).
### Alarm Cameras
The Alarm Cameras tile shows the following:
1. Total number of alarm cameras at **enabled** locations.
2. The percentage of those alarm cameras that are currently online.
3. Displayed when a location only has one alarm camera configured. One alarm camera does not provide adequate coverage and it is highly recommended to configure additional alarm cameras when this warning is displayed.
An additional alert is displayed when more than 25% of alarm cameras at enabled locations are offline (for example, 2/5 alarm cameras are offline). This row appears only when at least one location has more than 25% alarm cameras offline. Select this tile to open the **Configure** tab filtered to affected locations.
For more information on setting up alarm cameras, see [Alarm Motion Zones](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/alarm-setup/alarm-motion-zones.md).
***
## Mode Summary
The **Mode Summary** section shows how locations are scheduled and which monitoring subscription each location uses.
### Locations by Schedule State
1. Total number of locations currently using an alarm schedule.
2. Total number of locations currently set to be armed at all times.
3. Total number of locations currently set to be disarmed at all times.
Select any metric to open the **Configure** tab filtered to the associated locations.
For more information on setting an alarm schedule, see [Alarm Schedule](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/alarm-setup/alarm-schedule.md). For more information on arming and disarming, see [Arming and Disarming](/docs/release-notes/share-only/arming-and-disarming-web-users.md).
### Alarms Subscription Summary
**This** section is split into multiple tabs to show locations grouped by the total number of sites subscribed to each Solink alarm subscription:
* [**Professionally Monitored**](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/professionally-monitored-video-alarms/professionally-monitored-video-alarms-overview.md)**:** Total number of locations on the Professionally Monitored subscription.
* [**Self-Monitored+**](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/alarms-with-ai-detection/self-monitored.md)**:** Total number of locations on the Self-Monitored+ subscription. A breakdown of **handling method** is also displayed, indicating how many sites receive an alarm notification either via direct SMS text message/email, or through [VerifEye](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/alarms-with-ai-detection/verifeye-alarm-verification.md). Please contact your Solink Customer Success representative if you need to adjust the handling method for any of your locations.
* **Self-Monitored:** Total number of locations on Self-Monitored (no subscription).
The tab with the most locations is selected by default when the page loads.
A red dot next to the tab heading, as well as a warning message near the bottom of a tab once selected indicates that at least one location's **setup is incomplete** for that subscription level. This means the location’s alarms configuration is missing information and therefore alarms at this location are not currently running. See [these configurations guides](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/video-alarms-getting-started.md#first-time-setup) for more information.
***
## Contacts and Access Management
This section summarizes alarm contacts and onsite disarm methods across your locations.
### Alarm Contact Locations
**Alarm Contact Locations** shows which of your enabled alarm locations have **Alarm Contacts**. A red warning message displays if there are locations without Alarm Contacts.
Ensure that all alarm locations have at least one Alarm Contact to ensure alarms function correctly.
**Select the Locations Without Contacts** tileto open the **Configure** tab filtered to locations missing contacts:
See [Alarm Contacts](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/alarm-setup/alarm-contacts.md) for more information on how to create and assign Alarm Contacts.
### Onsite Disarm Method
Shows the onsite disarm method for locations if any are enabled:
1. **Video Alarm Tablet:** Enabled locations using a [Video Alarm Tablet](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/video-alarm-tablet/arm-and-disarm-video-alarm-tablet.md) for onsite arm/disarm.
2. **Phone Arm / Disarm:** Enabled locations using [phone-based arm/disarm](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/use-and-configure-alarms/arm-disarm-pin.md#arm-disarm-pin-for-phone).
A "Locations Without PINs" warning is displayed when there are no arm/disarm PINs set up for enabled locations using phone-based arm/disarm or for video alarm tablet(s). This row appears only when at least one location matches.
Select a tile to filter by locations without PINs on the **Configure** tab.
For more information, see [Arm / Disarm PIN](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/use-and-configure-alarms/arm-disarm-pin.md).
***
## Recent Activity
The **Recent Activity** shows up to five recent alarm audit events from the last 30 days for the locations selected in the location selector. This section appears if you have [Alarm Audit Events](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/use-and-configure-alarms/alarm-audit-events.md) enabled on your account.
Each event row displays:
* Event title
* Location name
* Date the audit event occurred
* User email associated with the change
| **Action** | **Description** |
| -------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **See Audit Events** | Opens the full **Audit Events** page at **Events > Audit Events**. |
| **Play Event** | Opens a video player for the event if there is paired video (for example, tablet arm/disarm). |
For more information on audit events, see [Alarm Audit Events](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/use-and-configure-alarms/alarm-audit-events.md).

## Troubleshooting Alarm Issues from Alarms Summary
A red warning message is displayed for each section of the Alarms Summary page if there is an issue that requires attention.
These warning messages are explained in each section of this document above, but are provided in the following table as well:
| **Section** | **Warnings** | **Troubleshooting Action** |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Active Locations | X Disabled Locations | Select the message to navigate directly to the **Configure** tab filtered by all disabled locations. Activate each location from this area. |
| Alarm Cameras | \* Only one alarm camera \* More than 25% offline | \* **Only one alarm camera**: Enable and configure additional alarm cameras to ensure adequate coverage. \* **More than 25% offline**: [Contact Solink Support](/docs/get-started/introductory-guides/how-to-contact-our-team.md) for assistance with troubleshooting. |
| Subscriptions | Incomplete Configuration | Select the message to navigate directly to the **Configure** tab filtered by alarm locations with incomplete configuration. Follow the setup steps to fully configure the alarm for each affected location. |
| Alarm Contacts | Locations without contacts | Select the message to navigate directly to the **Configure** tab filtered by locations with no Alarm Contacts. Create/assign at least one Alarm Contact for each of these sites. |
| Onsite Disarm Method (PINs) | Locations without PINs | Select the message to navigate directly to the **Configure** tab filtered by locations with an onsite disarm method enabled but no PIN. [Create a PIN](/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/use-and-configure-alarms/arm-disarm-pin.md) for the affected accounts and train the authorized person on how to use their PIN to arm/disarm the alarm system. |

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://help.solink.com/docs/protect-your-locations-with-alarms/use-and-configure-alarms/alarms-summary-page.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
