AXIS 225FD - Event Configuration

Configuring Event Types

An Event Type describes how and

when the camera will perform certain

actions.

Example:

If somebody passes in front of the

camera, and an event that uses motion detection

has been configured to act on this, the camera

can e.g. record and save images to an FTP server,

and/or send a notification email to a pre-config-

ured email address with a pre-configured mes-

sage. Images can be sent as email attachment

Triggered Event

A Triggered event can be activated by

e.g:

• a switch (e.g. a push button) conne

cted to the camera’s input port

• detected movement in a configured

motion detection window

• a manually activated action, e.g. from an

action button in the web interface

• on restart (reboot) after e.g. power loss

• a temperature warning

• a camera tampering alarm

How to set up a triggered event

This example describes how to set the camera to upload

images when e.g the main door is

opened:

1. Click A

dd triggered... on the Event Types page.

2. Enter a descriptive name for the event, e.g. Main door open.

3. Set the priority - High, Normal or Low (see the online help).

4. Set the Respond to Trigger... parameters for when the event will be active,

e.g. only after office hours.

5. Select the trigger alternative from the Triggered by... drop-down list, e.g. select

Input ports, for the sensor connected to the door.

6. Set the When Triggered... parameters, i.e. define what the camera will do if the

main door is opened e.g., upload images to an FTP server.

7. Click OK to save the Event in the Event Types list.

Please see the online help for descriptions of

each available option.

Note:

Up to 10 event types can be configured in the camera, and up to 3 of these can be configured to upload

images.
