Events; Event Servers; Event Types - Axis P3346 User Manual

Events

Pre-defined parameters, known as an event or Event Type can trigger specific 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 a door switch, motion detection, or system event, is called a triggered event.
See page 30.
A scheduled event is one that runs at pre-programmed times.
An Action refers to how the camera responds 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 an event has been configured to detect and respond to motion, and somebody passes in front of a camera,
the camera records and saves images to an FTP server, and sends a notification e-mail to an e-mail address. Images can be
sent as e-mail attachments.
