Button Description
Remove
selected
Lets you remove an event selected in the Defined events list.
Note: The selected event will be removed without further warning.
Advanced... Opens the Advanced window (see page 83), in which you are able to specify
network settings to be used in connection with event handling: which ports to
use for FTP, alerts and SMTP input/output events as well as which polling
frequency to use on devices requiring polling.
Add New Event Window (for Devices Capable of Handling
One Input Only)
The Add New Event window (for devices capable of handling one input event only) lets you specify
the settings for an input event on devices capable of handling one input event only. You access the
Add New Event window (for devices capable of handling one input event only) by selecting the
required device and clicking the Add new event... button in the I/O Setup window (see page 74).
Note that this only applies when the selected device is capable of handling a single input event
only. Some devices are capable of handling several input events, in which case a different window,
the Multiple Input Events window (see page 78), will open when the Add new event... button is
clicked.
Note: Before you specify input events for a device, verify that sensor operation is recognized by
the device. Most devices are capable of showing this in their configuration interfaces, or via CGI
script commands. Also check the XProtect Basis+ release note to verify that input-controlled
operations are supported for the device and firmware used.
