5. Recording failure (NVR event)
This option allows the NVR to trigger an action when the video recording of the
IP camera or the video server fails due to the hard disk bad blocks, file system
crash, or other reasons. Select ‘NVR event’ from the ‘Event List’. Click
‘Recording failure’. Then define the action settings on the right (discussed in
the later sections).
6. External event (user-defined events)
To create a self-defined event on the NVR, select ‘User-defined Event’ under
‘External event’ on the ‘Event List’. Then click the + button. Enter the event
name, for example, ‘door’.
After creating an event, click the event name and define the action on the right
(discussed in the later sections). After configuring the action settings, enter
the CGI command (including the self-defined event name) in the web browser to
trigger the action anytime. The format of the CGI command is:
http://NVRIP/cgi-bin/logical_input.cgi?name=event-name. For example,
http://10.8.12.12:80/cgi-bin/logical_input.cgi?name=door
