• 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

power loss for example

• a temperature warning

• a camera tampering alarm

• the state of the IR cut filter

• audio detection

How to set up a triggered event

This example describes how to set the camera to upload

images when the main door is

opened:

1. Click A

dd triggered... on the Event Types page. The Triggered Event Type Setup

window appears.

2. Enter a descriptive Name for the event, such as Main door open.

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

4. Set min time interval between triggers - The shortest possible interval is 1

second and the longest is 23 hours, 59 minutes and 59 seconds. (see the online

help).

5. Set the Respond to Trigger... parameters to define when the event will be active,

e.g. only after office hours.

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

Input ports, for the sensor connected to the door.

7. 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 or send an e-mail.

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

Please use the online help for descriptions of each available option. Image file names

can be formatted according to specific requirements, such

as time/date or type of triggered
