Chapter 3 Configuring and Managing the IP Camera

Applications Windows

When an event occurs, it triggers the IP camera to take certain configured actions. For example, an event can cause the IP camera to send a notification e-mail message to designated recipients and upload a video file to an SMTP server or an FTP server, or it can cause the IP camera to activate an output port.

The Event window allows you to designate up to 10 schedules. If an event takes place within a designated schedule, the IP camera takes the actions that you configure.

To display the Event window, access the configuration windows as described in the “Accessing the IP Camera Windows” section on page 2-6, click Applications, then click Event.

If you change any options in the Event window, except deleting an event from the event schedule list, you must click Save to save the changes. To discard the changes, click Cancel before clicking Save. These buttons appear at the bottom of the window. You may need to scroll down to see them.

Table 3-17describes the options in the Event window.
