Events Overview
When creating an event-based rule in the
Manage Rule
wizard (see Manage Rules (on page 133)), you are able to
select between a number of different events.
In order for you to get a good overview, selectable events are listed in groups according to whether they are:
Devices
Dependent on hardware configuration
Event
Description
Events Dependent on Hardware Configuration
The configuration on which these events depend may only be possible on some hardware. For example, only selected
cameras may be able to detect tampering or temperature changes.
Audio Falling
Occurs when the audio signal on an audio-enabled device is falling. For exact information
about what constitutes a falling and a rising signal respectively, refer to documentation for
the device in question.
This type of event requires that at least one device on your system has an audio unit
connected. The event will not work until configured on the hardware itself.
Audio Passing
Occurs when the state of an audio-enabled device is changed, regardless of which state the
device is changed to.
This type of event requires that at least one device on your system has an audio unit
connected. The event will not work until configured on the hardware itself.
Audio Rising
Occurs when the audio signal on an audio-enabled device is rising. For exact information
about what constitutes a falling and a rising signal respectively, refer to documentation for
the device in question.
This type of event requires that at least one device on your system has an audio unit
connected. The event will not work until configured on the hardware itself.
Images Received
Occurs when pre-alarm images are received from a camera (using the
Include Images
option in Send notification to <profile> action (see "Actions and Stop Actions Overview" on
page 110)). Pre-alarm images are available for selected cameras only; such cameras are
capable of sending of one or more single still images from immediately before an event took
place to the surveillance system via SMTP e-mail.
This type of event requires that at least one camera on your system supports pre-alarm
images. The event will not work until configured on the hardware itself.
IMPORTANT:
Pre-alarm images functionality cannot coexist with edge recording (see
"Record Tab Overview" on page 103). So if a camera is setup to export pre-alarm images it
is not possible to enable edge recording on that camera, and vice versa.
Tip
:
Consider using prebuffering, defined on the
Record tab
(see "
Record Tab
Overview
" on page 103), as an alternative to pre-alarm images.
Input Activated
Occurs when an external input unit connected to an input port on a device is activated.
This type of event requires that at least one device on your system has an external input
unit connected to an input port. The event will not work until configured on the hardware
itself.
