AXIS 214 PTZ - Event Configuration
Event Types
An Event Type is a set of parameters describing how and when the AXIS 214 PTZ is to
perform certain actions.
Example: If somebody passes a connected sensor and an event type has been configured to act on this, the cam-
era 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 by e.g:
• a switch connected to an input port on the AXIS 214 PTZ
• a manual trigger, e.g. from an action button in the web interface
• on restart (reboot) after e.g. power loss
How to set up a triggered event
This example describes how to set the AXIS 214 PTZ to upload images when the main door
is opened:
1. Click Add triggered on the Event types page.
2. Enter a descriptive name for the event, e.g. 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,
e.g. only after office hours.
5. Select the trigger alternative from the Triggered by... drop-down list, e.g. an Input
port with a connected sensor if the door is opened.
6. Set the When Triggered... parameters, i.e. set the actions that the AXIS 214 PTZ will
take if the main door is opened, e.g. upload images to an FTP server.
7. Click OK to save the Event in the Event Types list.
Please see the online help for descriptions of each available option.
