External events - Generic events:
Generic events allow you to trigger actions in the system by sending simple strings via the IP network
to the system. The purpose of generic events is to allow as many external sources as possible to
interact with the system.
External events - User-defined events:
A number of events custom made to suit your system may also be selectable. You can use such user-
defined events for:

Making it possible for client users to manually trigger events while viewing live video in the
clients.

Countless other purposes. For example, you may create user-defined events which occur if a
particular type of data is received from a device.
See About user-defined events (on page 162) for more information.
