AXIS 231D+/232D+ - Event Configuration 29

Event Configuration

This section describes how to configure the AXIS 231D+/232D+ for event handling.

Pre-defined parameters, known as an Event or Event Type can trigger certain actions in the camera. A common event type is an alarm that prompts the camera to upload images. Many event types use an Event Server, to receive uploaded images.

An event that is triggered by a signal, such as a door switch, motion detection, or system event, is called a triggered event, see page 19.

A scheduled event runs at pre-programmed times.

An Action refers to what happens when the event occurs.

Event Servers

Event Servers can be used for receiving uploaded image files and/or notification messages. To set up Event server connections in your AXIS 231D+/232D+, go to Setup > Event Configuration > Event Servers and enter the required information according to the selected server type.
