The Event window provides options for configuring how the IP camera handles events. An event is either of the following:

•Motion that the IP camera detects. For related information about motion detection, see the “Motion Detection Window” section on page 3-23.

•A change of state from low to high or from high to low on an input port of the IP camera. For related information about input ports, see the “Alarm I/O Ports Window” section on page 3-27.

When an event occurs, it triggers the IP camera to take certain configured actions. For example, an event can cause the IP camera to send a notification e-mail message to designated recipients and upload a video file to an SMTP server or an FTP server, or it can cause the IP camera to activate an output port.

The Event window allows you to designate up to 10 schedules. If an event takes place within a designated schedule, the IP camera takes the actions that you configure.

To display the Event window, access the configuration windows as described in the “Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera” section on page 2-4, click Applications, then click Event.
