AXIS M31 Series - Events
Events
• Event Type - A set of parameters describing how and when the AXIS 214 PTZ should perform certain actions. An event
type may result in a single event, or it may result in many, all depending on how often the conditions governing its
behavior are met.
• Triggered Event Type - An event that is activated by a specific internal or external trigger condition; for example by
motion detection or by an external device such as a door switch or a sensor.
• Scheduled Event Type - An event that runs at a pre-programmed time.
• Action - What occurs when the event triggers, e.g. the upload of video images to an FTP server, or email notification.
Event Servers
Event Servers are used to receive uploaded image files and/or notification messages. To set up Event Server connections in
your camera, go to Setup > Events > Event Servers and enter the required information for the required server type.
For details on each setting, see the online help available from each web page.
When the setup is complete, the connection can be tested by clicking the Test button (the connection test takes
approximately 10 seconds).
Event Types
An Event Type describes how and when the camera performs certain actions.
Example: If an event has been configured to detect and respond to motion and somebody passes in front of a camera,
the camera can record and save images to an FTP server, and send a notification to an e-mail address. Images can be sent
as e-mail attachments.
