How is it triggered?
Events may be triggered by one of the several sources.
Scheduler: You can trigger an event based on the set schedule. For example, in the
example below, the schedule is set for an alarm to sound at 4:00, and will sound
once every 5 minutes within the next 10 minutes.
DIs: For selected models only, the IP device may be triggered by Digital Input. Select
the digital input and make sure to configure it on the
5-7-2 Event Configuration
page 84.
Motion: You may trigger the event if one or many Motion Detection regions encounter
a motion trigger. Trigger from any of them will initiate the event. The duration of
event will be the same as the MD trigger length, or the Trigger interval time, defined
in the Motion Detection section on Video Adjust page. In the example below, Motion
Detection region 1 is used as the event trigger.
You may also ask the event to be repeatedly triggered during this scheduled time.
The interval is determined in minutes. You may use this with email / FTP upload to
take snapshots at regular intervals.
Sound Detection: The event may be triggered when sound is detected. This feature is
available on cameras with Audio in capabilities only. The Sound Detection must be
configured first to use this feature.
Switch to Night mode: This is available to selected models only. When camera changes
between day and night modes, the embedded event handler will notice this change,
and may act upon this information.
Potential uses include changing the motion detection profile to another set of Event
MD parameters. By having two sets of parameters each optimized for day and night,
this provide better overall accuracy in both day and night conditions. Some night time
only MD regions may also be activated this way. The event period will end when the
camera returns to day mode, which will then reset the camera to the original settings.
