AXIS 207/207W - Event Configuration

Event Configuration

An event in the AXIS 207/207W is when a trigger is activated, causing a certain action to

be performed. The event is the set of parameters (or conditions) that specifies how and

when which actions will be performed. A common event is when the camera uploads

images, triggered by an alarm.

This section describes how to configure the AXIS 207/207W to perform certain actions

when an event (e.g. an alarm) occurs.

Triggered by...

Input Port

This describes the state that the

input must be in for an event to

be triggered e.g. a door sensor

connected to the camera’s input

port. If the door sensor is active,

an event is triggered.

Motion Detection

Movement in a motion detection

window can be used to trigger an event. Select the motion detection window from the

drop-down list and specify whether to trigger the event when motion stops or starts. For

information on how to set up motion detection windows see

Motion Detection, on page 26.

Manual Trigger

This option makes use of the action buttons on the live view page, which are used to start

or stop the event manually, e.g. activate an alarm connected to the camera’s output port.

Alternatively the event can be triggered via the product's API (Application Programming

Interface).
