Add detector or incident data to an existing incident

You can add a detector or sensor to an existing incident to gather additional data at the scene.

Note: Sensor status and readings are not shared through a published incident on the FH Mobile Response server. Units must get sensor data directly from the detector sending the data to the FH Mobile Response server, instead of from data published by another unit.

Note: You must have purchased FH Mobile Response Premium to create an incident from a detector or sensor reading in FH Mobile Response. For information on upgrading from FH Mobile Response Basic to Premium, contact your FH sales representative.

1. (If you have not done so already) Open the incident you want to add the detector or sensor data to in one of these ways.

   • Open incidents saved to your FH Mobile Response client computer.

     • Do one of the following.

       • Choose Go → Open → Open Incidents Local Only.
       • On the Incident ribbon, click Open Incidents Local Only.

   At the bottom of the interface, the Detector Browser appears, displaying a list of all the detectors or sensors. Each entry displays a color-coded status, brand type, ID, porting information, and a time stamp of the reading, depending on the sensor setup.

   

   The selected detector or sensor reading is highlighted in the Detector Browser, and its location on the map is marked with a red push-pin icon.

4. Select the detector or sensor you want to add data to the incident from in one of these ways.

   • In the Detector Browser pane, click the listing corresponding to the detector or sensor you want to select.
