AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E - Event Configuration

Event Types

An Event Type is a set of parameters describing how and when the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E is to perform certain actions.

Example: If somebody passes a connected sensor and an event type has been configured to act on this, the camera can e.g. record and save images to an FTP server, and/or send a notification email to a pre-configured email address with a pre-configured message. Images can be sent as email attachments.

Triggered Event

A Triggered event is activated from, e.g:

•a switch connected to an input port on the AXIS 215 PTZ

•a manually activated action e.g. from an action button in the web interface

•on restart (reboot) after e.g. power loss

Note: AXIS 215 PTZ-E does not support I/O ports.

How to set up a triggered event

This example describes how to set the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E 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, such as Motion Detection. To configure motion detection see page 25.

3.Set the Priority - High, Normal or Low (see online help files).

4.Set the Respond to Trigger... parameters when the event is to be active, for example. only after office hours.

5.Select the trigger alternative from the Triggered by... drop-down list, e.g. on restart.

6.Set the When Triggered... parameters i.e. set what the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E is to do if motion is detected, e.g. upload images to an FTP server or send an e-mail.

7.Click OK to save the Event in the Event Types list.

Please use the online help for descriptions of each available option. Image file names can be formatted according to specific requirements, such as time/date or type of triggered event. See File Naming & Date/Time Formats under Event Configuration.

Please use the online help files for descriptions of each available option.
