Chapter 2 Operation
Events Tab
Events are activated by user-defined event sources that tell the device how to react when an event occurs.
Event handlers are the actions that the device takes when an event occurs. For example, a system source
can be configured to send e-mail to an operator if the system shuts-down and restarts.
Sources
The camera supports one physical input alarm event source, a system event source, and a timer event
source. The alarm event source is the camera input for an external signaling device, such as a door
contact or motion detector. The system event source is activated when the camera restarts. The timer
event source is a user-defined event that activates an event after a specified amount of time.
Handlers
The device supports a Send Email handler, and an Upload JPEG to FTP Server handlers. The Send Email
handler sends an e-mail to a defined e-mail address when an event is activated.The Upload JPEG to FTP
Server handler saves a JPEG of the activated event to a defined FTP server.
