Event Schedule Form

Reference Topic:

Event Schedules Tab

An event schedules when an action occurs, such as resetting an anti-passback status, dialing a micro, or changing a physical reader type. There is no end time associated with an event. Events are comprised of one or more times on one or more days of the week and modes. Events differ from time schedules in that events define when an action occurs and time schedules define an interval of time over which an action occurs. Note that an event can schedule an action multiple times, even within the same day. Once an event is defined, it may be applied anywhere events are used.

Deleting an event schedule does not affect the current state of any devices currently under the effect of the deleted event schedule. An event will remain active until another event occurs to change it.

This form is used to create event schedules. Events define the day(s) of the week and time(s) an action will start. Click Search to display a list of previously created event schedules or Add to add a new event.

Description

Enter a meaningful and unique 32-digit or less alphanumeric description for this event.

Event Tagging Overview

Reference Topic:

Event Trigger Form Completion

When a digital video camera is activated and associated with a reader event or alarm event, the recording for that activity is tagged. During this tagging process, the camera remains actively recording and then archives the recording to disk.

Once recorded, the recording can be retrieved by a search option based on the event tag. If the Event Trigger that activated the tagging was defined as Tag as event instead of Tag only, the DVR would have changed recording rate to a special event-recording rate for a period of time, as predefined during the DVR setup and configuration.

When tagged events are identified by a search, retrieved, and viewed, the video playback begins at the start of the event and continues playing until you elect to discontinue the playback.

Event triggers must be created on the Event Trigger Form, to define the logical rules that will initiate event-driven video response.
