AXIS 210/210A/211/211A - Event Configuration 33

Event Configuration

An event in the camera is when an Event Type is activated and causes certain actions to be performed. The event type is the set of parameters (or conditions) that specifies how and when which actions will be performed. A common event type is when the camera uploads images when an alarm occurs. Many event types use an Event Server, to e.g. upload images to.

This section describes how to set up event servers and event types, i.e. how to configure the cameras to perform certain actions when events (e.g. alarms) occur.
