URL commands can be sent to HTTP CGI servers upon event. This provides the possibility of
highly intelligent response upon event. IP devices and many other devices also have
embedded CGI servers that may be controlled.
When Event Handler sends an URL command, it will send one set of command when the
event is trigged, and another as the event becomes inactive. Depending on the CGI design,
the URL commands may be able to be stringed together, and multiple commands may be
issued in a single line.
An example would be when the access control device at the entrance detects an entry, this
device provides a DI signal to the PTZ camera, and triggers an event. This event then sends a
loopback command to the PTZ Camera itself (by setting its own IP as the HTTP CGI server).
The PTZ Camera then moves to a preset location, stays until the event is over, and then
moves back to another location. At the same time it moves to the pre-set location, it increases
the bitrate from 1M to 3M, and the frame rate from 4 fps to 8 fps. The bitrate / fps changes are
reverted at the end of event.

3.10.3 Event List

You may define a maximum of 10 Event rules, which will be shown in abbreviated form in the
Event List panel. It will display under each Event ID, the days of the week it will be active, the
start time and duration of the active period, the type of the source of trigger, and the actions
used in the response. If the row is grayed out, this means the rule is currently not enabled and
stays inactive.
You may start creating a new event by clicking the event ID number in the list, for example "2".
There are several parts to the Event rule:
When is it active?
You may choose to enable the rule or not. The settings will be kept in internal memory even if
the event rule is disabled. Select the days in a weekly cycle in which this rule and schedule is
active.
Determine the start time and duration of the active period. For example, a rule that lets motion
detection trigger snapshot uploads to FTP would only take place after 19:00 each day for 12
hours. Outside of this time the rule will not be active.
