AXIS 214 PTZ
Event configuration
This section describes how to configure the AXIS 214 PTZ for alarm and handling. The AXIS 214 PTZ can
be configured to perform certain actions when certain types of events occur.
Terminology
• Event Type - A set of parameters describing how and when the AXIS 214 PTZ should perform cer-
tain actions. An event type may result in a single event, or it may result in many
, all depending on
how often the conditions governing its behavior are met.
• Triggered Event Type - An
event that is activated by a specific internal or external trigger condi-
tion. For example by motion detection or by an external
device such as a door switch or a sensor.
• Sche
duled Event Type - An event that runs at a pre-programmed time.
• Ac
tion - What occurs when the event triggers, e.g. the upload of video images to an FTP server,
email notification, etc.
Event servers
Event servers are used to e.g. receive uploaded image files and/or notification messages. To set up event
server connections in your AXIS 214 PTZ, go to Setup > Event Configuration > Event Servers, and enter
the required information for the selected server type.
For details on each setting, please
refer to the online help available from each web page.
Note:
Pre-trigger and post-trigger buffers will be lost if the connection to the event server fails.
When the setup is complete, the connection can be tested by clicking the Test button (the connection test
will take approximately 10 seconds).
