How to set up a triggered event
The following example describes how to set up the video encoder to upload images when the main door is opened. A door
sensor is connected to one of the I/O ports.
1. Click Add triggered on the Event Types page. The Triggered Event Type Setup page appears.
2. Enter a descriptive Name for the event, such as Main door open.
3. Set the Priority - High, Normal or Low.
4. Set the Respond to Trigger parameters to define when the event is active, for example, after office hours.
5. Select the input ports alternative from the Triggered by drop-down list and specify the state (active, inactive or
change) that the input must enter for the event to be triggered.
6. Set the When Triggered parameters, that is, define what the video encoder will do if the main door is opened. To
upload images, select Save stream and enter the required information. See Save stream, on page 29.
7. Click OK to save the event in the Event Types list.
Please see the online help for descriptions of each available option.
Notes:
Up to 10 event types can be configured in the video encoder, and up to four of these can be configured to upload
images. File names can be formatted according to specific requirements. See File Naming & Date/Time Formats in the
online help .
