An event is a preprogrammed camera function that is automatically activated by an event source. The
camera supports the following types of event sources:
• Alarm Source: The camera supports one alarm source. The sources are the camera inputs for
external signaling devices, such as door contacts or motion detectors.
• System Source: A system source is activated when the camera restarts.
• Timer Source: A timer source is a user-defined event. The user can program the timer to activate
an event after a specified amount of time. For
example, the timer can be activated every 60 seconds
to save an image to an SD card.
