Chapter 6: Configuration
Event Setup
When an event happens, like detected motion or triggered I/O device, a snapshot can be instantly sent to
your E-mail account, ftp server, image server, notification server, HTTP server, or SMS server to warn you
about what’s happened. In order to properly set up the event function, you must:
1. First set up the event server based on your needs: E-mail, FTP, Image or ComproView Notification.
2. Once the event servers are configured, you can then go to the trigger setup to configure the type of
event, motion, schedule and the associated even actions.
3. In the motion detection page, you can set up the region and the sensitivity for detection.
4. If you want to use the I/O input, please connect the I/O devices before event setup.
