APPENDIX I: SETTING UP HTTP EVENTS
Your Lorex Internet camera includes an advanced feature that allows you to enable HTTP Events.
NOTE: HTTP Events require at least two cameras on the same network.
HTTP Event means that if motion is detected, or an alarm is triggered on one camera, an event
notification can be sent to another camera. A PTZ Internet camera can be programmed to
automatically turn towards the target area.
Example
Positioning the Cameras
Camera A, an LNZ4001 PTZ camera, is mounted to the ceiling in one corner of an office. Camera
B, an LNE3003, has been placed to monitor the door at the opposite end of the room.
