Triggered Event; Pre-Trigger And Post-Trigger Buffers - Axis Q6032-E User Manual

Triggered Event

A triggered event can be activated (triggered) by:
Manual trigger - a manually activated action, such as from an action button in the web interface
•
• Motion detection - detected movement in a configured motion detection window
• On boot - on restart (reboot), after power loss
Pan Tilt Zoom - when the camera stops at a preset position
•
Disk full - when the memory card is full
•
• Auto Tracking - Auto Tracking detects movement in the camera's field of view and will follow the motion, e.g. a
person or vehicle, until it disappears from the monitored area.
Specify whether to trigger the event when motion starts or when motion stops
Fan malfunction - when the fan is not working properly
•
How to set up a triggered event
The following example describes how to set up a triggered event.
1. Go to Setup > Events > Event Types.
2. Click the Add triggered... button. The Triggered Event Type Setup page appears.
3. Enter a descriptive Name for the event, such as 'Main door open'.
4. Set the Priority - High, Normal or Low (see the online help).
5. Set min time interval between triggers is the minimum time between triggers, to avoid repeated triggers from
the same event. Can be set from 0-24 hours.
6. Set the Respond to Trigger... parameters to define when the event is active, for example, after office hours.
7. Select the trigger alternative from the Triggered by... drop-down list. For example, select motion detection.
8. Set the When Triggered... parameters, that is, define what the camera will do if the main door is opened - upload
images to an FTP server or send an e-mail notification.
9. Click OK to save the event in the Event Types list.
See the online help for descriptions of each available option.
Note:
Up to 10 event types can be configured in the camera, and up to three of these can be configured to upload images. File
names can be formatted according to specific requirements. See File Naming & Date/Time Formats online help.

Pre-trigger and Post-trigger buffers

This function is very useful when checking to see what happened immediately before and/or after a trigger, for example, 30
seconds before and/or after a door was opened. Check the Save stream checkbox under Event Types > Add Triggered... >
When Triggered... to view the options. All uploaded images are JPEG images.
Include pre-trigger buffer - images stored internally in the server from the time immediately preceding the trigger. Check the
box to enable the pre-trigger buffer, enter the desired length of time and specify the required image frequency.
Include post-trigger buffer - contains images from the time immediately after the trigger. Configure as for pre-trigger.
Notes
• Pre-trigger and Post-trigger buffers will be lost if the connection to the event server fails
• The maximum length of the pre-/post-buffer depends on the video image size and selected frame rate
• If the pre- or post-buffer is too large for the camera's internal memory, the frame rate is reduced and individual
images may be missing. If this occurs, an entry is created in the unit's log file
