AXIS 282/AXIS 282A - Event Configuration
Event Types
An Event Type is a set of
parameters that define
certain actions in the
camera in response to
specific triggers.
Example:
If somebody walks past
the connected camera, and an event
has been configured to act on this,
the Video Server can record and
send video images to an FTP server, or send a notification email to a pre-configured email address with a pre-con-
figured message. Video images can be sent as an attachment with the email.
Triggered Event
A triggered event can be activated by:
• a push button connected to an input port on the Video Server
• detected movement in a configured motion detection window
• a lost video signal
• a manually activated action, such as from
an action button in the web interface
• on restart (reboot), such as after
power loss
How to set up a triggered event
This example describes how to set the AXIS 282/AXIS 282A to upload
images when the
main door is opened:
1. Click A
dd triggered on the Event types page.
2. Enter a descriptive name for the event, such as Main door.
3. Set the priority - High, Normal or Low (see online help files).
4. Select which Video Source the event is to act on, for example, Video 1 on Main
door.
5. Set the Respond to Trigger... parameters when the event is to be active,
e.g. only after office hours
6. Select the trigger alternative from the Triggered by... drop-down list,
e.g. an Input port with a connected sensor if the door is opened.
7. Set the When Triggered... parameters, i.e. set what the Video Server should do if
the main door is opened. This could be uploading images to an FTP server or
sending an email.
8. Click OK to save the event in the Event Types list.
Please see the online help for descriptions of each available option.
