New Timer Window
The New Timer window lets you specify the settings for timer events . Timer
events are separate events, triggered by the input event, VMD event or event
button under which they are defined. Timer events occur a specified number of
seconds or minutes after the event under which they are defined has occurred or
the event button under which they have been defined has been clicked.
Timer events may be used for a wide variety of purposes; the following are
examples only:
• A camera starts recording based on an input event, e.g. when a door is opened; a timer
event stops the recording after 15 seconds
• Lights are switched on and a camera starts recording based on a VMD event, i.e. when
motion is detected; a timer event stops the recording after one minute, and another timer
event switches the lights off after two minutes
You are able to access the New Timer window in three ways:
● If dealing with input and VMD events in the I/O Setup window (see page 74): When you click
the plus sign ( ) next to a device in the window’s Defined events list, and select a defined
event, you are able to click the Add new event... button to access the New Timer window.
● If dealing with event buttons in the Event Buttons window (see page 85): When selecting an
already specified event button in the Defined Events list, you are able to click the Add new
event... button to access the New Timer window.
