AXIS 240Q - Event Configuration
Event Configuration
This section describes how to configure the AXIS 240Q for alarm handling. Various actions
can be configured to run when certain types of events occur.
A set of parameters describing how and when the video server is to perform certain actions
- the circumstances that start an event e.g. at a signal from an external device, such as a door
switch or a motion sensor
- the circumstances that start an event e.g. at a pre-programmed time
- what occurs when the event runs e.g. video images uploaded to an FTP server, email notifi-
cation sent, etc.
Event Servers
Event Servers are used for e.g. receiving uploaded image files and/or notification
messages. To set up Event server for your AXIS 240Q, go to Setup > Event Configuration
> Event Servers and enter the required information according to the selected server type.
For details on each setting, please refer to the online help available from each web
page.
Note: Pre-trigger and Post-trigger buffers will be lost if the connection to the event server fails.
When the setup is complete, the connection can be tested by clicking the Test button (the
connection test takes approximately 10 seconds).
