Record Snapshots to Webcam Storage
This option allows you to define an action that starts or stops a specific
webcam from taking snapshots.
To configure a record snapshot to webcam storage action:
1. Choose Device Settings > Event Rules. The Event Rules Settings
dialog opens.
2. Click the Actions tab.
3. Click New.
4. In the "Action name" field, type a new name for the action. The
default name is New Action <number>, where <number> is a
sequential number starting at 1.
5. In the Action field, click the drop-down arrow and select the desired
action: Record snapshots to webcam storage.
6. Select a webcam from the Webcam drop-down.
7. Selecting the action to perform - Start recording or Stop recording. If
"Start recording" is selected, do the following:
a. Use the slide bar to specify the total number of snapshots to be
taken when the event occurs. The maximum amount of
snapshots that can be stored on the EMX is ten (10). If you set it
for a number greater than ten and the storage location is on the
EMX, after the tenth snapshot is taken and stored, the oldest
snapshots are overwritten.
Tip: By default, the storage location is on the EMX. You can specify
a remote server to store the snapshots. See
Configuring Webcam
Storage (on page 265).
b. In the "Time before first Snapshot (s):" field, use the slide bar to
specify the amount of time (in seconds) between when the event
is triggered and the webcam begins taking snapshots.
c. In the "Time between Snapshots (s):" field, use the slide bar to
specify the amount of time between each snapshot being taken.
8. Click OK.
