Setting up Events and Alarms AXIS 2460 User’s Manual 24
To remove an event from the AXIS 2460, click the Remove button to the right of the event
in the list. A removed event is preserved on the AXIS 2460 until the recordings generated
by it have been removed, at which point the event is automatically deleted. If there is no
space available to add new events, it is also possible to manually delete events on the
Advanced Event Settings page - click the Advanced button in the lower right corner of
the window.
Editing Events
The following settings must be made for each event:
Event is Activated...
Select how the event will run. The options are:
• Always - The event runs all of the time
• During Time Period (opens further options - see below)
• When Alarm is Triggered (opens further options - see below)
• When Alarm is Triggered During Time Period (opens further options - see below)
The second and last options are used to specify only certain periods when the event will
record. This is useful for configuring events that will e.g. be operational only outside
working hours.
Edit Event
Enabled - Check or uncheck this box to activate or deactivate the event.
Priority - The priority given to the event will influence how quickly the Recording Mode
(see page 20) will run, and consequently, for how long this recording will retain a higher
frame rate and be stored for. The higher the priority the slower the reduction. Top priority
will maintain the high frame rate for approximately 8 times as long as an event at Low
priority. Note that Normal Priority will not affect the Recording Mode.
Name - Provide the event with a suitable name. This name will be used wherever the event
is shown. The name can contain up to 20 characters.
Desired Recording Frequency
Select either the
maximum rate, or
define your own
frequency in
frames per second,
minute or hour.
