Overview
A task describes events that trigger an alarm event when detected in the camera image.
Examples of typical events:
– An overall movement (flow) within an area.
– A movement against the flow.
– The camera is tampered with.
The result of a task is an alarm event. An alarm event can be analyzed in a CCTV system in
many ways. In this way, a recording can be started, a door closed or an e-mail sent, for
example.
