Events
Pre-defined parameters, known as an
Event
or
Event type
can trigger certain actions in the camera. A common Event type is
an alarm that causes the camera to upload images. Many Event types use an
Event Server
, to receive uploaded images.
An Event that is triggered by a signal, such as a door switch, motion detection, or system event, is called a
triggered event
, see
page 32.
A
scheduled event
runs at pre-programmed times.
An
Action
refers to what happens when the Event occurs.
This section describes how to configure the camera to perform certain actions when Events occur.
Event Servers
Event Servers are used to receive uploaded image files and/or notification messages. To set up Event Server connections in
your camera, go to
Setup > Events > Event Servers
and enter the required information for the required server type.
For details on each setting, see the online help
available from each web page.
When the setup is complete, the connection can be tested by clicking the
Test
button (the connection test takes
approximately 10 seconds).
Event Types
An
Event type
describes how and when the camera is to perform certain actions.
Example:
If somebody passes in front of the camera and an Event has been configured to detect and respond to
motion, the camera can record and save images to an FTP server, and can send a notification e-mail to an e-mail address.
Images can be sent as e-mail attachments.
