Instructions General Instructions
Event Servers Specify destinations for uploaded image files and/or notification messages sent by the camera. FTP servers and
HTTP servers can save image files. HTTP servers and TCP servers can receive notification messages.
Event Types Set up event types so that the AXIS 210/211 will perform various actions, e.g. upload images to a specified
destination. These event types can be Triggered - e.g. they run when an alarm is activated, or Scheduled - the
event type runs at a set time.
Motion Detection Set up areas in the image where an alarm is activated whenever movement occurs there. Each motion detec-
tion window can be moved, re-sized, or disabled at any time. The behavior for each window is defined by
adjusting the Object size, History, and Sensitivity profile sliders. Exclude windows can be used to mask areas
where motion should not activate alarms.
