How is it triggered?
Events may be triggered by one of the several sources.
Scheduler: You can trigger an event based on the set schedule. For example, in the example
below, the schedule is set for an alarm to sound at 4:00, and will sound once every 5 minutes
within the next 10 minutes.
DIs: For selected models only, the IP device may be triggered by Digital Input. Select the digital
input and make sure to configure it on the Event Configuration page
Motion: You may trigger the event if one or many Motion Detection regions encounter a motion
trigger. Trigger from any of them will initiate the event. The duration of event will be the same as
the MD trigger length, or the Trigger interval time, defined in the Motion Detection section on
Video Adjust page. In the example below, Motion Detection region 1 is used as the event trigger.
You may also ask the event to be repeatedly triggered during this scheduled time. The interval is
determined in minutes. You may use this with email / FTP upload to take snapshots at regular
intervals.
Sound Detection: The event may be triggered when sound is detected. This feature is available
on cameras with Audio in capabilites only. The Sound Detection must be configured first to use
this feature.
Switch to Night mode: This is available to selected models only. When camera changes
between day and night modes, the embedded event handler will notice this change, and may act
upon this information.
Potential uses include changing the motion detection profile to another set of Event MD
parameters. By having two sets of parameters each optimized for day and night, this provide
better overall accuracy in both day and night conditions. Some night time only MD regions may
also be activated this way. The event period will end when the camera returns to day mode,
which will then reset the camera to the original settings.
