REFERENCE INFORMATION
An event is a preconfigured camera, park, scan, preset, pattern, window blanking, alarm, or auxiliary function that can be performed automatically at a specific date and time.
For example, suppose a camera is set to run in a continuous pattern that scans a parking lot during business hours Monday through Friday. On Saturday and Sunday the camera needs to stop running the pattern and observe a gate. First, configure a preset to set the camera to observe the gate. Second, schedule an event to activate the preset on the weekends. Finally, a second, separate event must be scheduled to end the first event and allow the camera to return to the pattern on Monday.
NOTE: Events do not have a selectable duration. A second event must be scheduled to end a previous event.
Events can be configured from the Preset, Pattern, Window Blanking, Alarm, or Aux menus, or they can be configured from the Event menu. Events are managed individually or as a group from the Event menu.
EVENT TYPE
Any of the available event types can be selected from this menu, or you may select ALL EVENTS to view and manage the events as a group.The following are the settings for event type:
SCAN: A scan event executes a specified scan (random, auto, or frame scan) using the limit stops and scan speed defined in the Motion menu. Refer to Motion Settings on page 29.
PARK: A park event executes the
WINDOW BLANKING: A window blanking event activates or deactivates a previously defined window blank. The window blank remains activated or deactivated until another configured event changes the state of the window or you modify it through the Window Blanking menu. Refer to Window Blanking on page 41.
AUX: An auxiliary event turns on/off an auxiliary output when the event triggers. Refer to Aux on page 46.
ALARM: An alarm event executes the action associated with the specified alarm number. Refer to Alarms on page 44.
PATTERN: A pattern event starts a previously defined pattern when the event is triggered. Refer to Patterns on page 39.
CAMERA: A camera event assigns the camera settings of a preset to the current camera settings located in the Camera menu. Refer to Camera on page 23. The preset that is referenced by the event must be defined prior to setting up a camera event.
For the camera event to function, the referenced preset must have Custom Camera Settings activated. Refer to Presets on page 34.
ALL ALARMS: An all alarms event enables or disables the reporting of all alarms when the event is triggered.
PRESET: A preset event executes a previously defined preset when the event is triggered. Refer to Presets on page 34.
NOTES:
•If you have camera settings defined in the Camera menu that you wish to restore following a camera event which overwrites those settings, you must save the original settings as a separate preset prior to the camera event being triggered. You can then set a second camera event to call the preset that has the original settings saved. Camera settings can also be changed manually from the Camera menu following the original camera event.
•The event type cannot be changed if you are accessing it through the Edit Schedule option from the Preset, Pattern, Window Blanking, Alarm, or Aux menu.
*This setting applies to Pressurized Spectra IV dome systems only.
