Notification Escalation can be activated when the sensor status remains unchanged for a particular period. For example, if the Water Detector sensor on port 7 has a status of Critical continuously for 20 minutes, then the notification can be made to escalate. The SC1 and securityProbe can send a different alert to another group of staff members using the Escalation feature. Escalation is useful when the operator fails to respond to the sensor. The management can still take the necessary actions, thereby preventing a disaster.
