24AXIS 207MW - Event Configuration

Event Configuration

An event in the AXIS 207MW 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 207MW 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 25.

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).

Audio trigger - This is used to trigger the event every time the sound level rises above or falls below the Alarm level, as configured in Setup > Audio.

When Triggered...

Upload images/video - To upload images when the event type is triggered, check this box to display a dropdown list with the available upload options. Selecting the upload type (FTP, HTTP or Email) displays further settings for your selection. Please see the online help for descriptions of these settings.

Note: Mail servers must be configured under System Options > Network > SMTP

Activate output port - The output port controls external equipment connected to the I/O port on the AXIS 207MW, e.g. an alarm bell or light.
