Events
You can define parameters that can trigger specific actions in the camera. Such parameters are called an event or Event Type.
A common event type is an alarm that causes the camera to upload images. Many event types use an Event Server, to receive
uploaded images.
An e

actions. A common event type is an alarm that causes the camera to upload images to an Event Server. This section describes
how to configure the camera to perform certain actions when events occur.

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 > Events > Event Servers and enter the required information for the required server type.
For details on each setting, see the online help available from each web page. When the setup is complet
e, the
connection can be tested by clicking the Te

Event Types
An Event Type describes how and when the camera performs certain actions.
Example: If somebody passes in front of a camera and an event has been configured to detect and respond to motion,
the camera can record and save images to an FTP server, and send a notification to an e-mail address. Images can be sent
as e-mail attachments.
