Here we will look at four actual events to help you see how the above parameters work
together. In each case, we will explain what the event does, followed by screen shots and
some brief explanations of what each screen is doing. To create an event, simply go to
the Event Manager within Home Management, enter the name of the event in the Event
Description eld, and click Add New Event. You will then be able to congure the event
trigger, case and actions. Case and Actions are accessed through the “Edit Macro” button.
front door arChIve
This event records video from a camera every time the front door is opened. Below is the
trigger. This is from the Security System, and specically the zone called Foyer Entry and
when the zone is tripped, i.e. the door is opened. Every time the door this opened, the
trigger will initiate this event.
Having established the trigger, we then think about whether we want to have a case condition.
In this situation, the answer is no. Every time the door opens, we want this to execute, so there
is no case involved. We then move to Action. This is where we tell the system what we want
the event to do, having been triggered.
On the next page, you will see that in this case, our action is “Stream Video Images”, i.e. start
the camera recording. The system then asks which video source. We select Front Door (the
name of the camera over the front door). The system then gives us the option to select the
number of frames and the frame rate. These will obviously determine the quality and length
of the recording. Here we have selected 100 frames at 250 milli second (one quarter of a
second) intervals. This will give us 25 seconds of good quality video.
