AXIS 231D+/232D+ - Event Configuration
Event Types
An Event Type is a set of
parameters describing how and
when the Network
Dome Camera is
to perform certain actions.
Example:
If a door is opened, and an event
has been configured to act on this, the Network
Dome Camera can record and save video images
to an FTP server or send a notification email to a
pre-configured email address with a pre-config-
ured message. Video images can be
sent as an
attachment with the email.
Triggered Event
A Triggered event can be activated from the following
examples:
• a switch (doorbell) connected to an input port
on the Network Dome Camera
• PTZ preset position
• built-in motion detection
• a manually activated action from a manual trigger button in the web interface
• on restart (reboot) after power loss
How to set up a triggered event
This example describes how to set the Network Dome Cam
era to upload images when the
main door is opened:
1. Click A
dd triggered on the Event types page.
2. Enter a descriptive name for the event, such as, Main door.
3. Set the priority - High, Normal or Low (see online help files).
4. Set the Respond to Trigger... parameters when the event is to be active, such as,
only after office hours.
5. Select the trigger alternative from the Triggered by... drop-down list, such
as an Input port with a connected sensor if the door is opened.
6. Set the When Triggered... parameters. This indicates what the Network Dome
Camera is to do if the main door is opened, for example, upload images to an FTP
server.
7. Click OK to save the Event in the Event Types list.
Please use the online help files for descriptions of each available option.
