# Set up Emergency Scenarios

The Emergency Scenario feature allows property managers/project managers to configure automatic actions when an emergency event is triggered.

An Emergency Scenario consists of a trigger source and one or more actions. When the trigger condition is met, the configured actions are executed automatically to improve emergency response efficiency.

Emergency Scenarios support:

- Egress: Automatically unlock configured doors for evacuation.
- Lockdown: Automatically lock configured doors to restrict access.
- Emergency notifications to users.
- EC33 elevator floor release (if configured).
- Multiple emergency scenarios for different areas.

You can create multiple scenarios, each with its own door group and trigger source — for example, a separate Egress scenario for each building on a site, or a Lockdown scenario that only covers a restricted wing.

> [!NOTE]
> Upgrading from Emergency Settings
> 
> If your project previously used Emergency Settings, it is automatically converted into a scenario named **Egress**, using your existing configuration and tagged **Auto-Converted**. You can review or adjust it on the Emergency Scenario page after upgrading.

## Supported Scenarios

This feature applies to:

- Community Projects
- Commercial Projects

Configuration logic is the same. Differences are limited to:

- Compatible models & firmware
- Account role (Property Manager / Project Manager)

## Compatible Models and Minimum Versions

### Door Phones & Access Control Devices

Firmware requirements now come in two tiers, since older firmware can still trigger a scenario but can't report which input caused it:

- **Alarm-Only (legacy firmware)** — device can trigger a scenario, but only reports that an alarm occurred, not the specific input. Not usable as a distinct **Trigger Source** when a project has multiple scenarios.
- **Full Trigger Source Support** — device reports which input was triggered, enabling multiple scenarios each bound to a different input.

**Full Trigger Source Support**

| Model | Minimum Version | Model | Minimum Version |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| X915V2 | 2915.30.10.811 | A095 | 95.30.11.104 |
| R20V5* | 320.30.12.103 | A01/A02 | 101.30.11.204 |

R20V5*: R20 firmware version 320.30.12.104 does not support the full feature.

## Step 1: Create an Emergency Scenario

1. Log in to the cloud platform with your PM account.
2. Click **Settings** **> Emergency Scenario > New**.

![](https://cdn.document360.io/f09a6106-e976-455e-b2d0-3d88b5385960/Images/Documentation/image-RY0OU9HE.png)

1. Define the scenario name.
2. Select the scenario type: **Egress** or **Lockdown**. Currently, only commercial projects support the **Lockdown** type.
3. Select the **Door Group** this scenario controls.
4. Select a **Trigger Source** — the device and input that will automatically activate this scenario.
5. Configure the remaining options for the selected type (see table below).

| Field | Egress | Lockdown |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Auto-Activate Scenario on Input Trigger | **On**: Open all configured doors automatically when the scenario is triggered. **Off**: Click **Emergency Scenario** near the top of any interface to activate or deactivate a scenario manually. |
| Auto Unlock All Floors When Scenario Activated | It works with EC33 elevator control. If turned on, all floors controlled by EC33 will be released upon the scenario trigger. | Not available |
| Send Emergency Notifications on Scenario Activation | If turned on, users’ SmartPlus Apps and indoor monitors will receive a notification. | Not available |
| Auto-Clear | Available when **Auto-Activate Scenario on Input Trigger** is turned on. When it is enabled, the emergency scenario is automatically cleared once the trigger input signal is restored. Affected doors and floors return to their regular schedules. |

1. Click Submit.

## Step 2: Enable the Input (Non-Upgraded Devices Only)

This step is only required if the device you selected as the Trigger Source in Step 1 **has not been updated** to support Emergency Scenario.

Updated devices are fully configured by Step 1 — skip this step for those.

1. Navigate to the device IP in a browser. Log in with the username and password(admin/admin by default).
2. Go to **System > Security**. Check the input(s) that are connected to the alarm sensor.

1. Click Submit.
2. Make sure the input is enabled on the **Access Control > Input** interface.

## Step 3: Verification

While one or more scenarios are active, a red banner appears at the top of the platform listing the active scenarios.

The indoor monitor will display a prompt and sound an alarm for 30 seconds.

The SmartPlus App will receive the notification.

## Manual Control

You can also activate or deactivate a scenario manually from the **Emergency Scenario** page, without waiting for the trigger source.
