Triggered Event
A Triggered event can be activated by e.g:
•a push button connected to the camera’s input port
•detected movement in a configured motion detection window
•a manually activated action, e.g. from an action button in the web interface
•audio that is e.g. louder than a specified level
•on restart (reboot) after e.g. power loss

Pre-trigger and Post-trigger buffers
