If you are performing the test from a remote computer:
Substitute
localhost
with the IP address
of the NetDVR server. Example: If the IP address of the NetDVR server is 123.123.123.123, type:
telnet 123.123.123.123 1234
Note:
In the above examples, the number
1234
indicates the port on which the NetDVR server listens for
generic events. Port 1234 is the default port for this purpose, but it is possible to change this by specifying
another port number in the
Alert Port
field. If the alert port number has been changed
on your system, type your system's alert port number instead of
1234
.
This will open a
Telnet
window.
7. In
the
Telnet
window, type the term (so-called
event substring
) required to trigger your generic event. In our
case, the required term is
video
:
While typing in the Telnet window, you may experience so-called echo. This is simply the server repeating
some or all of the characters it receives; it will not have any impact as long as you are sure you type the
required characters.
8. Close
the
Telnet
window by clicking the close button in its top right corner:
9. Go to your NetGuard or NetGuard-EVS. If the yellow event notification indicator lights up for the required
camera, your generic event works as intended.
How to add a Timer Event
Timer events are separate events, triggered by the input event, VMD event, generic event or event button under
which they are defined. Timer events occur a specified number of seconds or minutes after the event under which
they are defined has occurred or the event button under which they have been defined has been clicked.
Timer events may be used for a wide variety of purposes; the following are examples only:
•
A camera starts recording based on an input event, e.g. when a door is opened; a timer event stops the
recording after 15 seconds
•
Lights are switched on and a camera starts recording based on a VMD event, i.e. when motion is detected; a
timer event stops the recording after one minute, and another timer event switches the lights off after two
minutes
To define a timer event, do the following:
1. A timer event requires that an input event, VMD event, generic event or event button has already been
defined. Begin by selecting the required event or event button:
