AXIS P3304/-V - Events

Events

An event or Event Type in the camera triggers actions when activated. An event type is a set of parameters that defines the

actions. A common event type is an alarm that causes the camera to upload images to an Event Server. This section describes

how to configure the camera to perform certain actions when events occur.

Definitions

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 someone passes in front of a camera and an event has been configured to detect and respond to motion,

the camera can record and saves images to an FTP server, and can send a notification e-mail to an e-mail address. Images

can be sent as e-mail attachments.
