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 tampering detection.
  • Page 97 VIVOTEK ■ Event name: Enter a name for the event setting. ■ Enable this event: Select this checkbox 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 98 VIVOTEK ■ Camera tampering detection This option allows the Network Camera to trigger when the camera detects that is is being tampered with. To enable this function, you need to configure the Tampering Detection option first. Please refer to page 114 for detailed information.
  • Page 99 VIVOTEK ■ VADP It is presumed that you already uploaded and enabled the VADP modules before you can associatee VADP triggers with an Event setting. Click on the Set VADP Trigger button to open the VADP setup menu. The triggering conditions available with 3rd-party software modules known as VADP will be listed.
  • Page 100 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 101: Add Server

    VIVOTEK Add server Click Add server to unfold the server setting window. You can specify how the notification messages are delivered when a trigger is activated. A total of 5 server settings can be configured. There are four choices of server types available: Email, FTP, HTTP, and Network storage. Select the item to display the detailed configuration options.
  • Page 102 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, then click Close to exit the Add server page.
  • Page 103 VIVOTEK ■ Passive mode Most firewalls do not accept new connections initiated from external requests. If the FTP server supports passive mode, select this option to enable passive mode FTP and allow data transmission to pass through the firewall. To verify if the FTP settings are correctly configured, click Test. The result will be shown in a pop-up window as shown below.

    VIVOTEK Add media Add media Click to open the media setting window. You can specify the type of media that will be sent when a trigger is activated. A total of 5 media settings can be configured. There are three choices of media types available: Snapshot, Video Clip, and System log.
  • Page 106 VIVOTEK ■ Add date and time suffix to the file name. Select this option to add a date/time suffix to the file name. For example: Snapshot_20130720_100341 File name prefix Date and time suffix The format is: YYYYMMDD_HHMMSS Click Save media to enable the settings, then click Close to exit the Add media page.
  • Page 107 VIVOTEK ■ Maximum duration Specify the maximum recording duration in seconds. Up to 10 seconds of video can be recorded. For example, if pre-event recording is set to 5 seconds and the maximum duration is set to 10 seconds, the Network Camera continues to record for another 4 seconds after a trigger is activated.

Motion Detection Setting 1: For normal situations Motion Detection Setting 2: For special situations Follow the steps below to enable motion detection: 1.
  • Page 112 VIVOTEK on page 96. 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 specific motion detection settings individually for day/night/schedule operations, please click Profile to open the Motion Detection Profile Settings page as shown below.
  • Page 113 VIVOTEK 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.
