24AXIS 207 - Event Configuration

Event Configuration

An event in the AXIS 207 is when a trigger is activated, causing a certain action to be performed. The event is the set of parameters (or conditions) that specifies how and when which actions will be performed. A common event is when the camera uploads images, triggered by an alarm.

This section describes how to configure the AXIS 207 to perform certain actions when an event (e.g. an alarm) occurs.

Triggered by...

Input Port

This describes the state that the input must be in for an event to be triggered e.g. a door sensor connected to the camera’s input port. If the door sensor is active, an event is triggered.

Motion Detection

Movement in a motion detection

window can be used to trigger an event. Select the motion detection window from the drop-down list and specify whether to trigger the event when motion stops or starts. For information on how to set up motion detection windows see Motion Detection, on page 26.

Manual Trigger

This option makes use of the action buttons on the live view page, which are used to start or stop the event manually, e.g. activate an alarm connected to the camera’s output port. Alternatively the event can be triggered via the product's API (Application Programming Interface).
