Event Configuration

An event in the camera is when an Event Type is activated and causes certain actions to be performed. The
event type is the set of parameters (or conditions) that specifies how and when which actions will be performed.
A common event type is when the camera uploads images when an alarm occurs. Many event types use an
Event Server, to e.g. upload images to.
This section describes how to set up event servers and event types, i.e. how to configure the camera to perform
certain actions when events (e.g. alarms) occur.

Configuring Event Types

An Event Type describes how and when the camera will
perform certain actions.
Example:
If somebody passes in front of the camera, and an event that
uses motion detection has been configured to act on this, the camera can
e.g. record and save images to an FTP server, and/or send a notification email
to a pre-configured email address with a pre-configured message. Images
can be sent as email attachments.
