Pre-defined parameters, known as an Event or Event Type can trigger certain actions in the camera. A common 

event type is an alarm that prompts the camera to upload images. Many event types use an Event Server to 

receive uploaded images.

An event that is triggered by a signal, such as a door switch, motion detection, or system event, is called a 

triggered event.

A scheduled event runs at pre-programmed times.

An Action refers to what happens when the event occurs.

This section describes how to set up event servers and event types, i.e. how to configure the camera to perform 

certain actions when events (e.g. alarms) occur.

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 > Event Configuration > Event Servers and enter the required 

information for the required server type.

For details on each setting, please 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). 

An Event Type describes how and when the camera will 

perform certain actions.

If somebody passes in front of the camera and an event that uses 

motion detection has been configured to act on this, the camera can, e.g. 
record and save images to an FTP server, and/or send a notification e-mail to 
a pre-configured e-mail address with a pre-configured message. Images can 
be sent as e-mail attachments.
