AXIS 223M - Event Configuration 31
Event Configuration
There are conditions that will cause the camera to respond with certain actions. For example, when an alarm goes off, the camera would respond by uploading images to the server. An Event type describes the conditions and the camera’s expected response. When the condition happens, we call it an Event; the camera’s response is called an Action.
A triggered event happens as a result of a trigger, which could be motion detection by the camera for example. A scheduled event happens according to schedule. An event could run at a scheduled time. For example, the camera could be configured to zoom in on area during night time.
This section describes how to set up event servers and event types.
Event Servers
