Generic Events
Generic Events Window
NetDVR is able to analyze received TCP and/or UDP data packages, and automatically trigger an event when
specified criteria are met. This way you are able to easily integrate your NetDVR surveillance system with a very wide
range of external sources, for example access control systems, alarm systems, etc.
Events based on the analysis of received TCP and/or UDP packets are called generic events. NetDVR listens for
generic events on the port specified as
Alert Port
in the
Advanced window
(default is port 1234).
The
Generic Events
window lets you manage such events.
Access: You access the Generic Events window by clicking the Generic Events button in the Administrator
window .
