Event Examples
These examples mainly cover the alarm input settings and time periods. As our starting
point we will use the four alarm inputs
1. Main Door Open - A sensor showing that the main door to the building has been
opened.
2. Window Open - A sensor showing that a window in an exposed location has been
opened.
3. Motion Detected - A motion detector registering movement outside the boiler room
door.
4. Smoke detected - A smoke detector located on the ceiling in the boiler room detects
smoke.
Four cameras are connected, as follows:
• Camera 1 - Covers main door
• Camera 2 - Covers window
• Camera 3 - Covers passage and door to boiler room
• Camera 4 - Inside boiler room
Example 1 - Smoke detection.
At the simplest level we will always want to make a recording (start an event) if there is
smoke in the boiler room. This event should be configured as follows:
1. Check the box for Camera 4.
2. Set the alarm activation to When Alarm is Triggered.
3. Set the alarm input settings to 1------, 2------, 3------, 4-Active.
4. Configure a pre-buffer of e.g. 10 minutes, to record what happened immediately before
the alarm.
Example 2 - Night time entry.
Records entry through the main door outside working hours.
1. Set the camera to 1.
2. Set the alarm activation to Alarm Triggered During Time Period.
3. Set the weekdays and times when the event will be enabled.
4. Set the alarm input settings to 1-Active, 2-----, 3-----, 4-----.
5. Configure a recording duration of 5 minutes.
