How to set up a triggered event
The following example describes how to configure a triggered event to upload images when motion is detected.
1. Click Add triggered on the Event types page. The Triggered Event Type Setup page appears.
2. Enter a descriptive Name for the event, such as Door open.
3. Set the Priority - High, Normal or Low.
4. Set the Respond to Trigger parameters to define when the event is active, for example, after office hours.
5. Select the trigger alternative from the Triggered by drop-down list. For example, motion detection.
6. Set the When Triggered parameters, that is, define what the camera will do if the main door is opened. To upload
images, select Save stream and enter the required information. See Save stream, on page 33.
7. Click OK to save the event in the Event Types list.
Please see the online help
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 in the online
help.
Save stream
To upload images to an FTP or HTTP server, save the video stream to the local storage disk, or to send images by email, check
the Save stream box.
Image frequency – Set the image frequency to a desired frame rate. The frame rate will be the best possible, but might not be
as high as specified, especially if uploading via a slow connection.
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 and specify the buffer length in seconds, minutes or hours.
Include post-trigger buffer – Contains images from the time immediately after the trigger. The post-trigger buffer is
configured in the same way as the pre-trigger buffer.
The pre-trigger and post-trigger buffers are very useful when checking to see what happened immediately before and/or after
a trigger, for example, 20 seconds before and after a door was opened. All uploaded images are JPEG images.
