AXIS 241Q/241S - Event Configuration 33

Event Types

An Event Type is a set of parameters describing how and when the video server is to perform certain actions.

Example: If somebody walks past the connected camera, and an event has been configured to act on this, the video server can e.g. record and

send video images to an FTP server, or send a notification email to a pre-configured email address with a pre-con- figured message. Video images can be sent as an attachment with the email.

Triggered Event

A triggered event is activated by e.g:

•a push button connected to an input port on the video server

•detected movement in a configured motion detection window

•a lost signal from a video source

•a manually activated action e.g. from an action button in the web interface

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

How to set up a triggered event

This example describes how to set the video server to upload images when the main door is opened:

1.Click Add triggered on the Event types page.

2.Enter a descriptive name for the event, e.g. Main door.

3.Set the priority - High, Normal or Low (see online help files).

4.Select which Video Source the event is to act on, e.g. Video 1 on Main door.

5.Set the Respond to Trigger... parameters when the event is to be active, e.g. only after office hours

6.Select the trigger alternative from the Triggered by... drop-down list, e.g. an Input port with a connected sensor if the door is opened.

7.Set the When Triggered... parameters, i.e. set what the video server should do if the main door is opened, e.g. upload images to an FTP server.

8.Click OK to save the event in the Event Types list.

Please see the online help for descriptions of each available option.
