8.2 Event List Now that we have created an Event Server, we can proceed with setting up actual events. 8.2.1 Event List Click on the “Add” button to begin. Trigger: You need to specify the trigger type. The drop-down list below shows the available options. Note that depending on your camera model, the options will vary.
Page 39
use 3 party motion detection sensors that trigger the camera to start a recording. Periodical- This trigger type can be used if you want the camera to perform the same action over and over again, based on a time period. A typical application would be to have the camera refresh an image on your web site every 60 seconds.
Send Notification- This action type uses the HTTP event server. You can use this to have the camera trigger a script on a server. Activate Digital Output- If your camera is equipped with digital outputs, then you can use them to perform an action. You can specific how long you want the camera to trigger the event once you have selected Digital 1.
8.3 Motion Detection The ZAVIO network camera is able to monitor the video footage for movements and trigger an alert if motion has been detected. This motion detection does not utilize passive infrared, but instead it relies on a frame by frame comparison of the video footage the camera captures.
8.4 Tampering Detection If the image of the camera is obstructed, e.g., because someone covers up the lens or moves the image out of focus, the camera notices this and generates a trigger alert. You can define how long you want the alert state to remain active after the event has occurred. 8.5 Schedule The Network Camera supports event trigger actions that can be based on a schedule.
Page 43
be used, as an example, to only activate motion detection between 9 pm and 6 am during business days and around the clock on the weekends. You can set up individual schedules for each event type, so that motion detection is activated between 7 pm and 7 am, but tampering detection is only activated between 10 pm and 4 am.

9.7 LED You can enable or disable the operation LEDs on your ZAVIO network camera. Hiding the LED indicator will make the camera appear to be offline while in fact it is operational and captures video.
9.8 System Log The Network Camera features a log function for system messages. These are system messages about the camera start-up procedure, e-mail deliveries, FTP uploads, motion detection and more. The camera stores the messages in its internal memory and displays them on the system log screen. Since memory is limited, the messages will eventually be truncated.
Page 58
The remote log function uses the System Log Protocol, which is a standard for forwarding log messages in an IP network. System Log is a client/server protocol. The System Log sender (the Network Camera) sends a small (less than 1KB) textual message to the System Log server.
