AXIS M3011 - Events

Events

Pre-defined parameters, known as an event or Event Type can trigger certain actions in the camera. A common event type is an alarm that causes the camera to upload images. Many event types use an Event Server, to receive uploaded images.

An event that is triggered by a signal, such as a door switch, motion detection, or system event, is called a triggered event, see page 20.

A scheduled event runs at pre-programmed times.

An Action refers to what happens when the event occurs.

This section describes how to configure the camera to perform certain actions when events occur.

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 > Events > Event Servers and enter the required information for the required server type.

Event Types

An Event Type describes how and when the camera performs certain actions.

Example: If somebody passes in front of a camera and an event has been configured to detect and respond to motion, the camera can record and saves images to an FTP server, and can send a notification e-mail to an e-mail address. Images can be sent as e-mail attachments.
