Event Configuration

This section describes how to configure the AXIS 213 PTZ for alarm and event handling. The AXIS 213 PTZ can be configured to perform certain actions when certain types of events occur.

Terminology

•Event Type - A set of parameters describing how and when the AXIS 213 PTZ should perform cer- tain actions. An event type may result in a single event, or it may result in many, all depending on how often the conditions governing its behavior are met.

•Triggered Event Type - An event that is activated by a specific internal or external trigger condi- tion. For example by motion detection or by an external device such as a door switch or a sensor.

•Scheduled Event Type - An event that runs at a pre-programmed time.

•Action - What occurs when the event triggers, e.g. the upload of video images to an FTP server, email notification, etc.

Event Servers

Event Servers are used, e.g. for receiving uploaded image files and/or notification messages. To set up Event server connections in your AXIS 213 PTZ, go to Setup > Event Configuration > Event Servers and enter the required information according to the selected server type.
