4.5 Event

When an event occurs, it triggers an alarm and the camera will take a pre-defined action, e.g., sending a

recorded video clip or JPEG files to a designated server. With this camera, an event can be triggered by

external alarm devices or the camera’s detection mechanism, including motion, blur, audio and Ethernet

detection.

Notes:

1. For the actions regarding recording, scheduled reco

rding takes top priority, Ethernet triggered

recording takes second, then other event triggered recording.

2. Only one event will be handled at a time. If an event is already triggered, other event will be logged

to the system but no action will be taken.

4.5.1 Motion Detection

When motion detection is enabled, the camera detects motion under a pre-specified condition within a

designated area. When motion is detected, the camera will generate an alarm and then take a specified

action.

Note

: To use the motion detection function, the following two conditions must be met:

1. You must select MJPEG codec for one of the streams to enabl

e the live view.

2. You must select H.264 or MPEG4 codec for one of the streams to process the motion detection.
