Triggered Event
A triggered event can be activated by:
• A Manual trigger - using the manual trigger button on the Live View page or through the VAPIX® Application
Programming Interface (API)
• Movement in a motion detection window
• On boot - for example after power loss
• Pan Tilt Zoom - when the camera stops at a preset position
• Disk full - when the local storage disk (SD memory card) has less than 1MB of free memory left
• Auto Tracking - Auto Tracking detects movement in the camera's field of view and will follow the motion, e.g. a
person or vehicle, until it disappears from the monitored area.
Specify whether to trigger the event when motion starts or when motion stops
• Fan malfunction
How to set up a triggered event
The following example describes how to set up the camera to upload images when a door is opened.
1. Click Add triggered on the Event types page.
2. Enter a descriptive Name for the event, such as Door open.
3. Set the Priority - High, Normal or Low.
4. Set the Respond to Trigger parameters to define when the event is active, for example, after office hours.
5. Select the trigger alternative from the Triggered by drop-down list. For example, motion detection.
6. Set the When Triggered parameters, that is, define what the camera will do if the main door is opened. To upload
images, select Save stream and enter the required information. See

Please see the online help
Note:
Up to 10 event types can be configured in the camera, and up to three of these can be configured to upload images.
File names can be formatted according to specific requirements. See File Naming & Date/Time Formats in the online
help .
Save stream
To upload images to an FTP or HTTP server, save the video stream to the local storage card or to send images by email, check
the Save stream box.
Image frequency - Set the image frequency to a desired frame rate. The frame rate will be the best possible, but might not
be as high as specified, especially if uploading via a slow connection.
Pre-trigger and Post-trigger buffers
This function is very useful when checking to see what happened immediately before and/or after a trigger, for example, 20
seconds before and/or after a door was opened. All uploaded images are JPEG images.
Include pre-trigger buffer - Images stored internally in the server from the time immediately preceding the trigger. Check the
box to enable the pre-trigger buffer and specify the buffer length in seconds, minutes or hours.
Include post-trigger buffer - Contains images from the time immediately after the trigger. The post-trigger buffer is
configured in the same way as the pre-trigger buffer.
