AXIS P5532-E/P5534-E - Events
Triggered Event
A triggered event
can be activated by:
• A manual trigger - using the manual trigger button on the Live View page or through the VAPIX® Application
Programming Interface (API)
• An application trigger - a third party application installed on the camera.
• Movement in a motion detection window
• On boot - for example after power loss
• Temperature - when the temperature of the camera rises or falls outside the operating range
• Pan Tilt Zoom - when the camera stops at a preset position
• Disk full - when the local storage disk (SD memory card) has less than 1MB of free memory left
• Fan malfunction
How to set up a triggered event
The following example describes how to set up the camera to upload images when a door is opened.
1. Click
Add triggered
on the
Event types
page. The
Triggered Event Type Setup
page appears
2. Enter a descriptive
Name
for the event, such as Door open.
3. Set the
Priority
- High, Normal or Low.
4. Set the
Respond to Trigger
parameters to define when the event is active, for example, after office hours.
5. Select the trigger alternative from the
Triggered by
drop-down list. For example, motion detection.
6. Set the
When Triggered
parameters, that is, define what the camera will do if the main door is opened. To upload
images, select
Save stream
and enter the required information. See
Save stream,
on page 24.
7. Click
OK
to save the event in the
Event Types
list.
Please see the online help
for descriptions of each available option.
Note:
Up to 10 event types can be configured in the camera, and up to three of these can be configured to upload images.
File names can be formatted according to specific requirements. See File Naming & Date/Time Formats in the online
help
.
Save stream
To upload images to an FTP or HTTP server, save the video stream to the local storage card or to send images by email, check
the
Save stream
box.
Image frequency -
Set the image frequency to a desired frame rate. The frame rate will be the best possible, but might not
be as high as specified, especially if uploading via a slow connection.
Pre-trigger and Post-trigger buffers
This function is very useful when checking to see what happened immediately before and/or after a trigger, for example, 20
seconds before and/or after a door was opened. All uploaded images are JPEG images.
Include pre-trigger buffer
- Images stored internally in the server from the time immediately preceding the trigger. Check the
box to enable the pre-trigger buffer and specify the buffer length in seconds, minutes or hours.
Include post-trigger buffer
- Contains images from the time immediately after the trigger. The post-trigger buffer is
configured in the same way as the pre-trigger buffer.
Notes
• Pre-trigger and Post-trigger buffers will be lost if the connection to the event server fails
• The maximum length of the pre-/post-buffer depends on the video image size and selected frame rate
• If the pre- or post-buffer is too large for the camera’s internal memory, the frame rate is reduced and individual
images may be missing. If this occurs, an entry is created in the unit's log file
