Automating Event Recording: Events of Interest

Events of Interest: examples
A storage area may be of little interest until someone enters it. A Multi-Media DSP unit can be set
to use Continuous recording until motion of the door to the storage area is detected in the video
recorded by the unit. The unit then switches automatically to Event Recording settings.
Another example: a camera monitoring the access point of a parking lot. When a vehicle reaches
the gate and idles waiting for the gate to rise, Event Recording can be used, to make effective use
of a Rapid Eye unit's video storage.
Use
An Outside World event or a Customer-device event can trigger Event Recording automatically.

suffice while nothing of interest occurs.

Scheduling: Configuration

Flexibility
Use of scheduling is optional. A schedule can be shared by the Continuous Recording of video,
the raising of Alarms and a Response Rule, or be used separately. Cameras and alarms can be
scheduled before or after they are setup. Scheduling is performed unit-by-unit.
In a nutshell
You have the option of setting a Multi-Media unit to record a video feed only at times or days that
you specify. For example, your organization might need to record video of a parking lot only on
holidays, or during the day, using only some cameras, and so on. You can customize schedules
for specific cameras, or groups of cameras. A schedule can be prepared for use only with alarms;
for example, to prevent them from ringing during business hours.
Each camera or the triggering of alarms can be scheduled to either:
Always ON. No schedule is used. Cameras using this setting record at all times.
Use Schedule: Default. The simplest way to simultaneously schedule all cameras and alarms is
to customize the "Default" schedule; see
Exception.
Use Schedule: [defined schedule]. To schedule a camera or alarms separately, or to schedule
a set of cameras as a group, see
