31 AXIS 223M - Event Configuration
Event Configuration
There are conditions that will cause the camera to respond with certain actions. For
example, when an alarm goes off, the camera would respond by uploading images to the
server. An Event type describes the conditions and the camera’s expected response. When
the condition happens, we call it an Event; the camera’s response is called an Action.
A triggered event happens as a result of a trigger, which could be motion detection by the
camera for example. A scheduled event happens according to schedule. An event could run
at a scheduled time. For example, the camera could be configured to zoom in on area
during night time.
This section describes how to set up event servers and event types.
Event Servers
Event Servers are used to receive uploaded image files and/or notification messages. To set
up Event server connections in your camera, go to Setup > Event Configuration > Event
Servers and enter information for the required server type.
For details on each setting, please see the online help available from each web page.
When the set up is complete, the connection can be tested by clicking the Test button (the
connection test takes approximately 10 seconds).
Event Types
An Event Type describes how and
when the camera performs certain
actions.
Example:
If somebody passes in front of the
camera and an event that uses motion detection
has been configured to act on this, the camera
can record and save images to an FTP server,
and/or send a notification e-mail to a pre-config-
ured e-mail address with a pre-configured mes-
sage. Images can be sent as e-mail attachments.
