(6) An event is an action initiated by a user-defined trigger source; it is the causal arrangement of
the following three parts: Trigger, Event Schedule, and Action. Set the event details of each
part.
Trigger:
This option defines when to trigger the IP camera. The trigger source can be
configured to use the IP camera’s built-in motion detection mechanism, periodic,
external digital input devices or system boot. There are several choices of trigger
sources as shown below.
(a)
Video motion detection: This option makes use of the built-in motion detection
mechanism as a trigger source. To enable this function, you need to configure
a motion detection windows first.
NOTE: For example, when the event status is on, once an event is triggered by
motion detection, the IP Camera will automatically send snapshots,
video clips or System log via the server type as your settings.
(b)
Periodic: This option allows the IP camera to trigger periodically for every other
defined minute(s). UP to 99999 minutes.
(c)
Digital input: This option allows the IP camera to use an external digital input
device or sensor as a trigger source. Depending on your application, there are
many choices of digital input devices on the market which helps to detect
changes in temperature, vibration, sound, and light, etc.
(d)
System boot: This option triggers the IP camera when the power to the IP
camera is disconnected.
Event Schedule:
Specify the period for the event.
(a)
Select the days of the week.
(b)
Set the recording schedule in the 24-hour time format.
Action:
Define the actions to be performed by the IP camera when a trigger is
activated.
(a)
Trigger D/O for ~ seconds: Select this option to turn on the external digital
output device when a trigger is activated. Specify the length of the trigger
interval in the text box.
(b)
If you want to set an event with recorded video or snapshots, it is necessary to
configure the server and media settings first so that the IP camera will know
what action to take (such as which server to send the media files to) when a
trigger is activated.
Checkmark the one of the Server Names which you have set already, then
select the Attached media (the media name) from the drop-down list.
(7) When completed, click Submit to enable the settings to exit this page. The new event settings
will appear on the Event Settings page.
NOTE: The new event settings / server settings / media settings will appear in the event
drop-
down list on the “Application> Event>” page.
