Event
Description
Motion Started
Occurs when RC-E detects motion in video received from cameras.
This type of event requires that RC-E's motion detection is enabled for the cameras to
which the event will be linked. Exactly what constitutes motion depends on the motion
detection settings specified for individual cameras in RC-E.
In addition to RC-E's motion detection, some cameras are— depending on configuration of
the camera hardware— themselves able to detect motion. Such camera-detected motion
detection can also be used in RC-E rules. Such events are called
Hardware Configurable
,
as they do not work until configured on the camera hardware itself. See Events dependent
on hardware configuration (see
man_rul_Events_Overview.htm#EventsDependentonHardwareConfiguration -
man_rul_Events_Overview.htm#EventsDependentonHardwareConfiguration).
Motion Stopped
Occurs when motion is no longer detected in received video. See also the description of the
Motion Started
event.
Predefined events (related to devices)
Event
Description
Predefined Events
Communication Error
Occurs when a connection to a device is lost; or when an attempt is made to communicate
with a device, and the attempt is unsuccessful.
Communication Started
Occurs when communication with a device is successfully established.
Communication
Stopped
Occurs when communication with a device is successfully stopped.
Feed Overflow Started
Feed overflow (a.k.a. Media overflow) occurs when a recording server is unable to process
received video as quickly as specified in the configuration and therefore is forced to discard
some images. If the server is healthy, feed overflow usually happens because of slow disk
writes. It can be resolved either by reducing the amount of data written, or by improving the
storage system's performance. Reduce the amount of written data by reducing frame rates,
resolution or image quality on your cameras. This will in general degrade recording quality.
If you are not interested in that, instead improve your storage system's performance by
installing extra drives to share the load or by installing faster disks or controllers.
Tip
:
This rare event can be used for triggering actions that will help you avoid the
problem, e.g. for lowering the recording frame rate.
Feed Overflow Stopped
Occurs when feed overflow (see description of the
Feed Overflow Started
event) ends.
Live Client Feed
Requested
Occurs when a user of the Ocularis Client requests a live stream from a device.
The event occurs upon the request— even if the client user's request subsequently turns
out to be unsuccessful, for example because the client user does not have the rights
required for viewing the requested live feed or because the feed is for some reason
stopped.
Output Activated
Occurs when an external output unit connected to an output 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 output port.
Output Changed
Occurs when the state of an external output unit connected to an output port on a device is
changed, regardless of which state the external input unit is changed to.
