AXIS 225FD - Event Configuration
Event Configuration
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 e.g. upload
images to.
This section describes how to set up event ser
vers and event types, i.e. how to configure
the camera to perform certain actions when events (e.g. alarms) occur.
