AXIS 231D - Event Configuration
Event Types
An Event Type is a set of parameters describing how and when the Network Dome Camera
is to perform certain actions.
Example: If somebody passes the connected camera, and an event has been configured to act on this, the Net-
work Dome Camera can e.g. record and save video images to an FTP server or send a notification email to a
pre-configured email address with a pre-configured message.
Triggered Event
A Triggered event is activated from, e.g :
• a switch (doorbell) connected to an input port on the Network Dome Camera
• lost signal from the camera
• a manually activated action e.g. from an action button in the web interface
• on restart (reboot) after e.g. power loss
How to set up a triggered event
This example describes how to set the Network Dome Camera to upload images when the
main door is opened:
1. Click Add triggered on the Event types page.
2. Enter a descriptive name for the event, e.g. Main door.
3. Set the priority - High, Normal or Low (see online help files).
4. Set the Respond to Trigger... parameters when the event is to be active,
e.g. only after office hours
5. Select the trigger alternative from the Triggered by... drop-down list, e.g. an Input
port with a connected sensor if the door is opened.
6. Set the When Triggered... parameters i.e. set what the Network Dome Camera is to
do if the main door is opened e.g. upload images to an FTP server.
7. Click OK to save the Event in the Event Types list.
Please use the online help files for descriptions of each available option.
