Chapter 3 Configuring and Managing the IP Camera
Feature Setup Windows
Event Notification Window
The Event Notification window provides options for how the IP camera handles events. An event is any
of the following:
• A change of state from low to high or from high to low on an input port of the IP camera. For related
information about input ports, see the
“IO Ports Settings Window” section on page 3-9.
• Motion that the IP camera detects. For related information about motion detection, see the “Motion
detection controls” rows in Table 4-1.
• Loss of video signal.
When an event occurs, it triggers the IP camera to take certain configured actions:
• HTTP notification—IP camera sends notification to a remote system via HTTP. This information
includes the following:
–
Device ID—ID of the IP camera
–
Device name—Name of the IP camera
–
IP address—IP address of the IP camera
–
MAC address—MAC address of the IP camera
–
Channel ID—Channel identification number (1 for primary stream or 2 for secondary stream)
–
Channel name—Name that is configured for the channel
–
Date and time—Date and time that the event occurred
–
Active post Count—Sequence number of the notification for this event
–
Event type—Type of event
–
Event state—Indicates whether the event is active or inactive at the time that the event was
detected for this notification
–
Event description—Description of the event.
–
Input port ID—If the event was triggered by an input port state change, port ID of the port
–
Region index—If the event was triggered by motion detection, identification number of the
region in which the IP camera detected motion
–
Sensitivity level—If the event was triggered by motion detection, sensitivity that is configured
for the region in which motion was detected
–
Detection threshold—If the event was triggered by motion detection, threshold that is
configured for the region in which motion was detected
• Email notification—An event can cause the IP camera to send a notification e-mail message to
designated recipients. The message can include a video clip or a snapshot of the activity that
triggered the event.
This message includes the same information that is provided with HTTP notification.
• FTP notification—An event can cause the IP camera to upload a video clip or a snapshot of the
activity that triggered the event to an FTP server.
• Output port state change—Changes the state of an IP camera output port from low to high or from
high to low.
• Syslog server message—Sends a notification message to the designated Syslog server.
The Event Notification window also allows you to designate schedules. If an event takes place within a
designated schedule, the IP camera takes the actions that you configure.
