  1. Introduction:
    • Welcome to the PDK system tutorial on viewing live events. In this video, we will show you how to monitor real-time access activities and system events using the live events feature.
  2. Accessing the Live Events Section:
    • Log in to your PDK software and navigate to the 'Live Events' section.
    • Here, you will find a real-time feed of all access activities and system events occurring within your facility.
  3. Understanding the Live Events Feed:
    • The live events feed displays a continuous stream of events as they happen, including access granted, access denied, door forced open, and system alerts.
    • Each event is listed with a timestamp, event type, and associated details such as user ID, door name, and location.
  4. Filtering Events:
    • Use the filtering options to narrow down the events displayed in the live feed. You can filter by event type, user, door, or time range.
    • This helps you focus on specific events that are most relevant to your monitoring needs.
  5. Customizing the Live Events View:
    • Customize the appearance of the live events feed to suit your preferences. You can adjust the columns displayed, sort events by different criteria, and change the layout of the feed.
    • These customization options make it easier to quickly find and review important events.
  6. Using Event Notifications:
    • Set up notifications to alert you of specific events in real-time. This can include notifications for access denied attempts, door forced open alerts, or system errors.
    • Configure the notification settings to receive alerts via email, SMS, or push notifications within the PDK app.
  7. Investigating Events:
    • Click on any event in the live feed to view detailed information and take action if needed. You can investigate the context of the event, review associated user profiles, and check related access logs.
    • This helps in quickly addressing any security concerns or anomalies.
  8. Archiving and Reviewing Past Events:
    • While the live events feed focuses on real-time activities, you can also archive events for future review. Use the 'Archive' feature to save events and access them later for detailed analysis.
    • Archived events can be searched and filtered similarly to the live feed, providing a comprehensive record of all system activities.
