AXIS M1011/M1011-W/M1031-W - Event Configuration
Event Configuration
An event or Event Type in the camera triggers certain actions when activated. An event type is a set of parameters that
defines these actions. A common event type is an alarm that causes the camera to upload images. Many event types use an
Event Server to receive uploaded images.
This section describes how to configure the camera to perform certain actions when events occur.

Definitions

Event Servers

Event Servers are used to receive uploaded image files and/or notification messages. To set up Event Server connections in
your camera, go to Setup > Event Configuration > Event Servers and enter the required information for the required server
type.
For details on each setting, see the online help available from each web page.
When the setup is complete, the connection can be tested by clicking the Test button (the connection test takes
approximately 10 seconds).
