EVENTS TAB
Use the Events tab to program sources and handlers to manage camera events.
SOURCES
An event is a preprogrammed camera function that is automatically activated by an event source. The camera supports three types of event
sources.
Alarm Source: The camera supports one alarm source. The sources are the camera inputs for external signaling devices, such as door contacts
or motion detectors (refer to Alarm, Relay, and 24 VAC Connector on page 14).
System Source: A system source is activated when the camera restarts.
Timer Source: A timer source is a user-defined event. The user can program the timer to activate an event after a specified amount of time. For
example, the timer can be activated every 60 seconds to save an image to a mini SD card.
