Event > Event settings
Detect next event after x seconds—Enter the duration in seconds to pause motion detection after a
•
motion is detected. This can prevent event-related actions to take place too frequently.
Schedule
Specify the period of time during which the event trigger will take effect. Select the days of the week
and the time in a day (in 24-hr time format) for the event triggering schedule. For example, you may
prefer an event to be triggered only during the off-office hours.
Trigger
This is the cause or stimulus which defines when to trigger the camera. The trigger source can be
configured to use the camera built-in motion detection mechanism or external digital input devices.
There are several choices of trigger sources. Select the item to display the detailed configuration options.
Video motion detection—This option makes use of the built-in motion detection mechanism as a
•
trigger source. To enable this function, you need to configure a Motion Detection Window first. For
more information, see the
Periodically—This option allows the camera to trigger periodically for every other defined minute.
•
Up to 999 minutes are allowed.
Digital input—This option allows the camera to use an external digital input device or sensor as a
•
trigger source. Depending on your application, there are many choices with digital input devices on
the market which help detect changes in temperature, vibration, sound, light, etc.
System boot—This option triggers the camera when the power to the camera is disconnected and
•
reconnected.
Recording notify—This option allows the camera to trigger when the recording disk is full or when
•
recording starts to overwrite older data.
Audio detection—A preset threshold can be configured with an external microphone as the trigger
•
to system event. The triggering condition can be an input exceeding or falling below a threshold.
Audio detection can take place as a complement to motion detection or as a method to detect
activities not covered by the camera's view.
Camera tampering detection— This option allows the camera to trigger when the camera detects that
•
is being tampered with. To enable this function, you need to configure the Tampering Detection
option first. See the
information.
Manual Triggers—This option allows you to enable event triggers manually by clicking the on/off
•
button on the homepage. Configure one to three associated events before using this function.
VADP—It is presumed that you already uploaded and enabled the Cisco APP Package modules
•
before you can associate Cisco APP Package triggers with an Event setting.
Click on the Set VADP Trigger button to open the VADP triggers menu. The triggering conditions
available with third-party software modules known as Cisco APP Packages will be listed. Use the
arrow buttons to select these triggers. You may implant these modules for different purposes such
as triggering motion detection, or applications related to video analysis, etc. See the
> Package management" section on page 5-41
modules.
Once the triggers are configured, they will be listed under the VADP option.
Action
Define the actions to be performed by the camera when a trigger is activated.
