AXIS M3014 - Events
Triggered Event
A triggered event could be activated by:
• a manually activated action, such as from an action bu
tton in the web interface
• detected movement in a configured motion detection window
• camera tampering
• application trigger
• pan tilt zoom
• on restart (reboot), after power loss
How to set up a triggered event
The following example describes how to set up the camera to upload images when the main door is opened.
1. Click Add trig
gered... on the Event Types page. The Triggered Event Type Setup page appears.
2. Enter a descriptive Name for the event, such as Motion Detection. To configure motion detection see page 26.
3. Set the Priority - High, Normal or Low (see the online help).
4. Set the Respond to Trigger... parameters to define when the event is active, for example, after office hours.
5. Select the trigger alternative from the Triggered by... drop-down list.
6. Set the When Triggered... parameters, that is what the camera will do if motion is detected; for example, upload
images to an FTP server or send an e-mail notification.
7. Click OK to save the event in the Event Types list.
See the online help for descriptions of each available option.
Note:
Up to 10
event types can be configured in the camera, and up to three of these can be configured to upload images.
File names can be formatted according to specific requirements. See File Naming & Date/Time Formats in the online
help .
Pre-trigger and Post-trigger buffers
This function is useful when checking to see what happened immediately before and/or after a trigger, for example, 30
seconds before and/or after a door was opened. Check the Save stream checkbox under Event Types > Add Triggered... >
When Triggered... to view options. All uploaded images are JPEG images.
Include pre-trigger buffer -
images stored internally in the server from the time immediately preceding the trigger. This
option appears when you check the Save stream checkbox under Event Types> Add Triggered...>When Triggered. Check the
box to enable the pre-trigger buffer, enter the desired length of time and specify the required image frequency.
Include post-trigger buffer
- contains images from the time immediately after the trigger. Configure as for pre-trigger.
Notes
•
Pre-trigger and Post-trigger buffers will be lost if the connection to the event server fails
• The maximum length of the pre-/post-buffer depends on the video image size and selected frame rate
• If the pre- or post-buffer is too large for the camera’s internal memory, the frame rate is reduced and no images will
be uploaded. If this occurs, an entry is created in the unit's log file
Continue image upload (unbuffered) -
enables the upload of video images for a fixed length of time. Specify the length of
time for the uploaded recording, in seconds, minutes or hours, or for as long as the trigger is active. Finally, set the desired
image frequency to the maximum (the maximum available) or to a specified frame rate. The frame rate will be the best
possible, but might not be as high as specified, especially if uploading via a slow connection.
