Set up a scheduled event

A scheduled event can be activated at preset times, in a repeating pattern on selected weekdays.

The following example describes how to conﬁgure the Axis product to upload images from pre-programmed time periods.

1.Go to Events > Event Types and click Add scheduled.

2.Enter a descriptive name for the event, for example Scheduled email upload.

3.Set the Priority — high, normal or low.

4.Set the Activation Time parameters (24h clock) for the event. For example, select Recurrence pattern and let the event start on Sundays at 13.00 with a duration of 12 hours.

5.Set the When Activated parameters, that is, deﬁne what the product should do when the event is activated. To upload images, select Save stream and enter the required information. See Save stream.

6.Click OK to save the event.

Save stream

To upload images to an FTP or HTTP server, save the video stream to the SD card or send images by email, check the Save stream box.

Pre-trigger and post-trigger buffers are useful when checking to see what happened immediately before and after a trigger. All uploaded images are JPEG images.

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.

Include pre-trigger buffer - Images stored internally in the product 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 - Images stored internally in the product from the time immediately after the trigger. Check the box to enable the post-trigger buffer and specify the buffer length in seconds, minutes or hours.

Note

•Pre-trigger and post-trigger buffers will be lost if the connection to the event server fails.

•The maximum length of the pre-/post-trigger buffer depends on the video image size and selected frame rate.

•If the pre- or post-buffer is too large for the product’s internal memory, the frame rate is reduced and individual images may be missing. If this occurs, an entry is created in the product’s log ﬁle.

Continue image upload (unbuffered) - Upload video images for a ﬁxed length of time or for as long as the trigger is active.

Select type - Upload images to an FTP or HTTP server, send images by email or save the video stream to the SD card.

Create folder - Images uploaded to FTP and HTTP servers can be saved to designated folders. Folders can, for example, be named using the current date and time, see File Naming & Date/Time Formats in the online help.

Base ﬁle name - Used to name all uploaded images. Add a sufﬁx or use your own ﬁle format to give the images unique names, see File Naming & Date/Time Formats in the online help.

Use stream proﬁle - Select the stream proﬁle to upload, send as email or save to the SD card. When saving to the SD card, the video format must ﬁrst be selected. For information on stream proﬁles, see Stream Proﬁles, on page 16.
