# Current Alarms

## Current Alarms <a href="#current_alarms" id="current_alarms"></a>

Below we will look at a complete overview of the Current Alarms view.  In this view, you will see all of the Motion Tiles that have entered an alarmable state at some point in time, but have yet to be  cleared by the user(s).  You will see that this view has two main components:

1. Unacknowledged Alarms & Acknowledged Alarms
2. A dashboard with three columns for identifying basic Motion Tile information to locate the tile that is in its alarm state.

### Unacknowledged & Acknowledged Alarms <a href="#unacknowledged_and_acknowledged_alarms" id="unacknowledged_and_acknowledged_alarms"></a>

1. **Unacknowledged Alarms:** Alarms that have not been acknowledged nor cleared
2. **Acknowledged Alarms:** Alarms that have been acknowledged but ***not cleared***

### Navigating to "Alarm Details" View <a href="#navigating_to_-alarm_details-_view" id="navigating_to_-alarm_details-_view"></a>

The Alarm Details view will give you more details about the individual alarm tied to a Motion Tile. There are three methods to access the Alarm Details view for any individual Motion Tile:

1. Kebab Icon
2. "View Details" button
3. Mosaic Dashboard *(this will be discussed in another article)*
