NOTE
1. The recorder does not control camera’s input or output ports in a way
to let you pair recorder itself with a camera’s input or output port for
event receiving or triggering.
2. The recorder only acts as a medium for pairing up input/output ports
between cameras and the recorder.
3. Only connected cameras will be displayed in the list.
4. Some cameras only allow one trigger source be configured at a
time, e.g.: if the camera has the motion detection function turned on,
its digital input will be disabled and vice versa. Under such
circumstance, if you set to use camera’s digital input port as the event
trigger source, you will not be able to select motion detection as the
/trigger source for this camera under “Event Configurations” >> “Event
Trigger” setup page.
6.3.3 Event Servers
Event servers are to be used with event trigger actions. In case of unusual motion detected by the
camera or a disk failure, the recorder can send notification with the acceptable format (image/txt)
to a destined event server according to the configuration.
