Events Tab
Use the Events tab to configure camera events and analytics.
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 email to an operator if the system shuts-down
and restarts.
Sources
The camera supports one physical input alarm source, a system source, and a timer source. The Alarm source is the camera input for an external
signaling device, such as a door contact or motion detector. The System source is activated when the camera restarts. The Timer source is a
user-defined event that activates an event after a specified amount of time. For example, the timer can be activated every 60 seconds to save an
image to an SD card.
Handlers
The device supports a Send Email handler, a “Write JPEG to SD Card handler,” and an “Upload JPEG to FTP Server handlers.” The Send Email
handler sends an email to a defined email address when an event is activated. The “Write JPEG to SD Card” saves a JPEG of the activated event
to an SD card. The “Upload JPEG to FTP Server” saves a JPEG of the activated event to a defined FTP server.
Analytic Configuration
Pelco analytics can be configured and enabled using a standard Web browser. The device is preloaded with Pelco’s Camera Sabotage behavior,
which detects contrast changes in the field of view. An alarm is triggered if the lens is obstructed with spray paint, a cloth, or covered with a lens
cap. Any unauthorized repositioning of the camera also triggers an alarm.
Pelco analytics are also compatible with Endura
®
or a third-party system that supports Pelco’s Analytics API system. Refer to the specific product
documentation for instructions on how to configure and enable Pelco analytics.
NOTE: Analytic alerts can be seen in the event stream, but alarms are only transmitted through the analytics API.
