24 AXIS 207MW - Event Configuration
Event Configuration
An event in the AXIS 207MW is when a trigger is activated, causing a certain action to be
performed. The event is the set of parameters (or conditions) that specifies how and when
which actions will be performed. A common event is when the camera uploads images,
triggered by an alarm.
This section describes how to configure the AXIS 207MW to perform certain actions when
an event (e.g. an alarm) occurs.
Triggered by...
Input port - This describes the
state that the input must be in for
an event to be triggered e.g. a
door sensor connected to the
camera’s input port. If the door
sensor is active, an event is
triggered.
Motion detection - Movement in a
motion detection window can be
used to trigger an event. Select the motion detection window from the drop-down list and
specify whether to trigger the event when motion stops or starts. For information on how
to set up motion detection windows see Motion Detection, on page 25.
Manual trigger - This option makes use of the action buttons on the live view page, which
are used to start or stop the event manually, e.g. activate an alarm connected to the
camera’s output port. Alternatively the event can be triggered via the product's API
(Application Programming Interface).
Audio trigger - This is used to trigger the event every time the sound level rises above or
falls below the Alarm level, as configured in Setup > Audio.
When Triggered...
Upload images/video - To upload images when the event type is triggered, check this box to
display a dropdown list with the available upload options. Selecting the upload type (FTP,
HTTP or Email) displays further settings for your selection. Please see the online help for
descriptions of these settings.
Note:
Mail servers must be configured under System Options > Network > SMTP
Activate output port - The output port controls external equipment connected to the I/O port
on the AXIS 207MW, e.g. an alarm bell or light.
