Setting up Events and Alarms
The AXIS 2460 Network DVR can be used in a wide variety of surveillance applications
and can also use external alarm devices and output equipment. Using the Web interface, it
is a simple matter to configure events, alarms and recordings.
This section describes how to configure events and alarms and provides a few examples of
typical applications. For a complete rundown of all the available settings, please see
Complete Event Settings, on page 23.
You may also need to make various other general settings, for example, define users, set
the date and time, make network settings, etc. Please refer to System Options, on page 37.
About Events
Each recording made by the AXIS 2460 Network DVR is the result of a configured Event.
An event is a set of parameters that define the conditions that must be met before any
recording is made. These parameters are time-based or alarm-based, but they can also be a
combination of the two. There are also events that run continuously.
Your AXIS 2460 is supplied with five pre-configured events. The first four are named
Manual Recording, and there is one for each video input/camera. These events are run
whenever the camera’s Rec button is clicked. These 4 default events can all be disabled, but
they cannot be deleted. The fifth pre-configured event is called Continuous Recording,
which runs as soon as one or more cameras are enabled. This event can be disabled and/or
deleted.
