Triggered Event - Axis P3346 User Manual

Triggered Event

A triggered event could be activated by:
• a manually activated action, such as from an action button in the web interface
• detected movement in a configured motion detection window
• on restart (reboot), after power loss
• camera tampering
• input ports
• IR cut filter
• audio
• full disk
• fan malfunction
• application trigger
• temperature
• pan tilt zoom
How to set up a triggered event
The following example describes how to set up the camera to upload images when the main door is opened.
1. Click Add triggered... on the Event Types page. The Triggered Event Type Setup page appears.
2. Enter a descriptive Name for the event, such as Motion Detection. To configure motion detection see page 33.
3. Set the Priority - High, Normal or Low (see the online help).
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.
6. Set the When Triggered... parameters, that is what the camera will do if motion is detected; this could be uploading
images to an FTP server or sending an e-mail notification.
7. Click OK to save the event in the Event Types list.
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 .
Pre-trigger and Post-trigger buffers
This function is useful when checking to see what happened immediately before and/or after a trigger, for example, 30
seconds before and/or after a door was opened.
In the Event Types page, select Add Triggered... and The Triggered Event Type Setup dialog appears. Check the Save stream
checkbox option under When Triggered... to view the options. 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 option to enable the pre-trigger buffer, enter the desired length of time and specify the required image frequency.
Include post-trigger buffer - contains images from the time immediately after the trigger. Configure as for pre-trigger.
Notes:
• Pre-trigger and Post-trigger buffers will be lost if the connection to the event server fails.
• The maximum length of the pre-/post-buffer depends on the video image size and selected frame rate.
• If the pre- or post-buffer is too large for the camera's internal memory, the frame rate is reduced and no image will be
uploaded. If this occurs, an entry is created in the unit's log file.
