  • Page 102: Event > Event Settings

    VIVOTEK Event > Event settings Advanced Mode This section explains how to configure the Network Camera to responds to particular situations (event). A typical application is that when a motion is detected, the Network Camera sends buffered images to an FTP server or e-mail address as notifications. Click on Help, there is an illustration shown in the pop-up window explaining that an event can be triggered by many sources, such as motion detection or external digital input devices.
  • Page 103 VIVOTEK ■ Event name: Enter a name for the event setting. ■ Enable this event: Select this option to enable the event setting. ■ Priority: Select the relative importance of this event (High, Normal, or Low). Events with a higher priority setting will be executed first.
  • Page 104 VIVOTEK ■ Recording notify This option allows the Network Camera to trigger when the recording disk is full or when recording starts to rewrite older data. ■ Camera tampering detection This option allows the Network Camera to trigger when the camera detects that is is being tampered with.
  • Page 105 VIVOTEK 3. Action Define the actions to be performed by the Network Camera when a trigger is activated. ■ Trigger digital output for seconds Select this option to turn on the external digital output device when a trigger is activated. Specify the length of the trigger interval in the text box.
  • Page 106 VIVOTEK Add server To set an event with recorded video or snapshots, it is necessary to configure the server and media settings so that the Network Camera will know what action to take (such as which server to send the Add server media files to) when a trigger is activated.
  • Page 107 VIVOTEK To verify if the email settings are correctly configured, click Test. The result will be shown in a pop-up window. If successful, you will also receive an email indicating the result. Click Save server to enable the settings.

  • Page 117 VIVOTEK A green bar indicates that even though motions have been detected, the event has not been triggered because the image variations still fall under the defined threshold. Percentage = 30% If you want to configure other motion detection settings for day/night/schedule mode, please click Profile to open the Motion Detection Profile Settings page as shown below.
  • Page 118 VIVOTEK NOTE NOTE: ► How does motion detection work? There are two motion detection parameters: Sensitivity and Percentage. In the illustration above, frame A and frame B are two sequential images. Pixel differences between the two frames are detected and highlighted in gray (frame C) and will be compared with the sensitivity setting. Sensitivity is a value that expresses the sensitivity to moving objects.

  • Page 119: Applications > Di And Do

    VIVOTEK Applications > DI and DO Connect DI or DO devices to the camera's terminal block, the camera will automatically detect the current connection state as pulled-high or pulled-low. You may then define the triggering condition. Digital input: Select High or Low to define the "active state" for the digital input. The Network Camera will report the current status.

  • Page 120: Applications > Audio Detection

    VIVOTEK Applications > Audio detection Audio detection, along with video motion detection, is applicable in the following scenarios: 1. Detection of activities not covered by camera view, e.g., a loud input by gun shots or breaking a door/window. 2. A usually noisy environment, such as a factory, suddenly becomes quiet due to a breakdown of machines.
  • Page 121 VIVOTEK You can use the Profile window to configure a different Audio detection setting. For example, a place can be noisy in the day time and become very quiet in the night. 1. Click on the Enable this profile checkbox. Once the Audio detection window is opened, the current sound input will be interactively indicated by a fluctuating yellow wave diagram.
