Events
Predefined parameters, known as an Event or Event Type, can trigger actions in the Axis product. A common event type is an alarm that causes the product to upload images to an Event Server.
Triggered events - are activated by a signal, for example motion detection.
Scheduled events - run at preset times, in a repeating pattern on selected weekdays.
Actions - refer to what happens when an event occurs.
Triggered events can be activated by:
•Input ports
•Motion detection, see page 31
•Audio detection, see page 33
•A trigger from an uploaded application, see Applications, on page 27
•Pan Tilt Zoom — when the view stops at a preset position
•Full disk — when the SD card has less than 1 MB free memory left
•System events, for example on boot.
Event actions include:
•Uploading images to an event server or send images by email
•Saving the video stream to the product’s SD card
•Sending notification messages and emails
•Activating an output port, for example, to sound an alarm or lock a door
•Pan Tilt Zoom — go to a preset
•Playing an audio clip
Event Servers
Event servers receive uploaded image files and/or notification messages. To set up event server connections in the Axis product, go to Events > Event Servers and enter the required information for the server type.
