Chapter 9. NVR Setup -- Event Configurations

9.1 Event Configuration

The "Event Configurations" section allows users to define conditions that constitute an event,
its corresponding trigger action and when it will be triggered. Such setting can reduce the
management overhead and notify the administrator only when it's necessary.

9.1.1 General Settings

The general settings section can help you quickly configure when an event is triggered, how
often events are triggered and the corresponding actions when events are triggered.
Start the event configuration by defining the general settings:
Define when an event will be triggered
• Choose "Always" or "Only during..." under "Event Trigger Duration"
• For the "Only during..." option, choose the days by using the check-box and then define the
time range in those days in the "Start Time" and "End Time" fields that you would like the event
trigger function to be enabled.
How often an event is triggered
• Set a time interval under "Event Trigger Interval" to define how often events are triggered
Trigger action
Now that you have the event trigger duration and interval defined, choose what action to be
taken during an event trigger:
• You can choose to have the recorder sent out the first few frames of the video recorder upon
an event is triggered.
• You can also choose to have the recorder sent out a warning message in e-mail or in txt file
format and upload it to a destined FTP server.
