AXIS 242S IV - Event configuration
Event types
An
event type
is a set of
parameters describing how
and when the video server
is to perform certain
actions.
Example:
If somebody walks past
the connected camera, and an event
has been configured to act on this,
the video server can e.g. record and
send video images to an FTP server, or send a notification email to a pre-configured email address with a pre-con-
figured message. Video images can be sent as an attachment with the email.
Triggered Event
A triggered event is activated by e.g:
• a pushbutton connected to an input port on the video server
• detected movement in a configured motion detection window
• a lost signal from the video source
• a manual action e.g. clicking the trigger button in the web interface
• on restart (reboot) after e.g. power loss
• a trigger from the currently running IV module
How to set up a triggered event
This example describes how to set the AXIS 242S IV to upload images when the main door
is opened:
1. Click Add triggered on the Event types page.
2. Enter a descriptive
name
for the event, e.g. Main door.
3. Set the
priority
- High, Normal or Low (see online help files).
4. Select the Video Source the event is to act on, e.g. Video 1 on Main door (AXIS
241Q/QA only).
5. Set the Respond to Trigger... parameters when the event is to be active,
e.g. only after office hours
6. Select the trigger alternative from the Triggered by... drop-down list,
e.g. an Input port with a connected sensor if the door is opened.
7. Set the
When Triggered...
parameters, i.e. set what the video server should do if
the main door is opened, e.g. upload images to an FTP server.
8. Click
OK
to save the event in the Event Types list.
Please see the online help for descriptions of each available option.
