Axis 26926r2 Manuale Utente

An event in the camera is when an Event Type is activated and causes certain actions to be performed. The 

event type is the set of parameters (or conditions) that specifies how and when which actions will be performed. 

A common event type is when the camera uploads images when an alarm occurs. Many event types use an 

Event Server, to receive uploaded images.

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.

A set of parameters describing how and when the camera will perform certain actions
