Events; Event Servers; Event Types - Axis M1103 User Manual

Events

Pre-defined parameters, known as an event or Event Type can trigger certain actions in the camera. A common event type is
an alarm that causes the camera to upload images. Many event types use an Event Server, to receive uploaded images.
An event that is triggered by a signal, such as motion detection, or a manual trigger, is called a triggered event, see page 23.
A scheduled event runs at pre-programmed times.
An Action refers to what happens when the event occurs.
This section describes how to configure the camera to perform certain actions when events occur.

Event Servers

Event Types

An Event Type describes how and when the camera performs certain actions.
Example:
If somebody passes in front of the camera and an event has been configured to detect and respond to motion,
the camera can record and saves images to an FTP server, and can send a notification e-mail to an e-mail address. Images
can be sent as e-mail attachments.
