AXIS M7001 - Event Configuration
Event Configuration
An event or Event Type in the video encoder triggers actions when activated. An event type is a set of parameters that defines
the actions. A common event type is an alarm that causes the video encoder to upload images. Many event types use an Event
Server to receive uploaded images and notification messages.
This section describes how to configure the video encoder to perform certain actions when events occur.
Definitions
Event Servers
Event servers are used to receive uploaded image files and/or notification messages. To set up event server connections in your
video encoder, go to Setup > Events > Event Servers and enter the required information for the server type.
For details on each setting, see the online help available from each web page.
When the setup is complete, the connection can be tested by clicking the Test button (the connection test takes
approximately 10 seconds).
Event Types
An Event Type describes how and when the video encoder performs certain actions.
Example: If somebody passes in
front the camera connected to the
video encoder and an event has been
configured to detect and respond to
motion, the video encoder can
record and save images to an FTP
server and send a notification email
to an email address. Images can be
sent as email attachments.
