Event Config

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

Event Types

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

Example:: If somebody passes in front of the camera and an event that uses motion detection 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 e-mail to a pre-configured e-mail address with a pre-configured message. Images can be sent as e-mail attachments.

Triggered Events

A triggered event can be activated by:

•a manual trigger from an action but- ton in the web interface, or by a trig- ger sent via the VAPIX® API

•detected movement in a configured motion detection window

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

•a temperature alarm

•a camera tampering alarm (AXIS 209 FD-R/FD-R M12)
