Generic event
When you add generic events (see "Test a generic event" on page 115), specify the following
properties:
Name Description
Event name
Specify a name. Names must be unique, and must not contain any
of these special characters: < > & ' " \ / : * ? | [ ]
Some cameras only support event names of a certain length and/or
with a certain structure. Refer to the camera's documentation for
exact details.
Event port
Read-only field displaying the port number on which XProtect Go
listens for generic events (default is port 1234). The port number
can be changed as part of the general event handling configuration
(see "Configure general event handling" on page 115).
Event substring
Lets you specify the individual items for which XProtect Go should
look out for when analyzing data packages. Specify one or more
terms, then click the Add button to add the specified term(s) to the
Event message expression field, the content of which will be used
for the actual analysis. Examples:

Single term: User001 (when added to the Event message
expression field, the term will appear as "User001")

Several terms as one item: User001 Door053 Sunday
(when added to the Event message expression field, the
terms will appear as " User001 Door053 Sunday")
When you add several terms as one item (appearing as, for
example, " User001 Door053 Sunday" in the Event message
expression field), everything between the quotation marks must
appear together in the package, in the specified sequence, in order
to match your criterion. If the terms must appear in the package, but
not necessarily in any exact sequence, add the terms one by one
(that is so they will appear as "User001" "Door053" "Sunday" in the
Event message expression field).
Tip: It is OK for TCP and UDP packages used for generic events to
contain special characters, such as @, #, +, 㪠~, etc. within the text
string to be analyzed.
