AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E - Event Configuration
24
Event Types
An Event Type is a set of parameters describing how and when the AXIS 215 PTZ/AXIS 215 PTZ-E is to
perform certain actions.
Example:
If somebody passes a connected sensor and an event type 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 email to a pre-configured email address with a pre-configured message. Images can be sent
as email attachments.
Triggered Event
A Triggered event is
activated from, e.g:
• a switch connected to an input port on the AXIS 215 PTZ
•
a manually activated action e.g. from an action button in the web interface
• on restart (reboot) after e.g. power loss
Note:
AXIS 215 PTZ-E does not support I/O ports.
