AXIS 243Q Blade - Event configuration 32

Event configuration

This section describes how to configure the AXIS 243Q Blade for alarm handling. An event in the camera happens when certain conditions are fulfilled, and result in specific actions. The set of parameters (or conditions) that define these actions is called Event Type. For example, an alarm could be the condition, that causes the camera to act by uploading images onto a server.

This section describes how to set up event servers and event types, that is how to configure cameras to perform certain actions in response to events.

Event servers

Event Servers are used to receive uploaded image files and/or notification messages. To set up Event server connections in your camera, go to Setup > Event Configuration > Event Servers and enter the required information for the required server type.

Event types

An event type is a set of parameters describing how the video server is to perform certain actions.

Example: If somebody walks past the connected camera. If an event has been configured to act on this, the video server can record and send video images to an FTP server, or

send a notification email to a pre-configured email address with a pre-configured message. Video images can be sent as an attachment with the email.
