Enable the external script file to exclude the following settings
You can write a script named SCRIPT.TXT to match the additional software according to the
Command Script for DI/DO and Camera’s Actions Setting section from Chapter 5. After
uploading this script to the VPort via FTP, check the option Enable the external script file to
exclude the following settings. Otherwise, the VPort will use the settings under Enable the
external script file to exclude the following settings option.
Event operation
Event operation is for setting security applications.
1. Delay □ seconds before detecting the next event:
Use this option to set the time interval (in seconds, from 0 to 999) between each event’s
trigger action.
2. Trigger Condition
a. Detect motion in. Check the Video 1, Video 2, Video 3, and Video 4 boxes to enable
Video Motion Detection (VMD), which is set on the Video configuration web page (you
may also click on the each hyperlink of video to configure motion detection link
below to configure the appropriate parameters) as the trigger condition. There are 3
check boxes to the right of each video channel, which are for each camera’s VMD area
settings. The VMD Window’s name will appear after the box is set up.
b. DI Condition. The VPort 2141 supports 4 Digital Inputs. Each DI can be set to High,
Low, Rising, or Falling. An edge trigger (e.g., Rising or Falling) is generally used to
detect the signal from an external sensor.
3. Trigger Action
You can set 2 trigger actions that determine the reaction after an event occurs. The trigger
actions are relay output alarms and snapshot image.
a. DO Action. There are 4 DOs (Relay output) for connecting the alarms. You can set the
trigger output alarm when the DI or Video Motion Detection conditions are met. The
Delay □ second(s) after event option will delay the time at which the device attached
to the digital output responds.
b. Snapshot. You can configure the snapshot action to occur when the DI or Video Motion
Detection conditions are met. By checking the Send snapshot while trigger
condition(s) match, this snapshot trigger action can be enabled. Three snapshots will be
taken when an event occurs.
(1) Pre-event snapshot: The VPort 2141 can provide a maximum of 6 snapshot images
before the event, which can be set up in Send ▼ pre-event image(s) when event
occurs.
(2) Event-triggered snapshot: Once an event occurs, the VPort 2141 will send a
snapshot image at the moment the event is being triggered.
(3) Post-event snapshot: You can determine how many snapshot images will be sent
from the VPort 2141 after the event has been triggered. This is done by configuring
Take □ snapshot(s) with □ seconds interval after the event.
c. Send snapshot while trigger condition(s) match. To activate the function of snapshot
sent via E-mail or FTP server, this item should be checked.
