Setting up Events and Alarms

Note that this is the desired frame rate. The actual frame rate will depend on the number of
enabled cameras and if these cameras are synchronized or not. When using more than one
camera, the frame rate for each camera can be calculated by dividing the frame rate for 1
camera by the number of cameras used. The table shown above features examples of the
theoretical frame rates for 1 and 4 cameras, using synchronized cameras. To get the frame
rates for 2 or 3 cameras, divide the frequency for 1 camera by 2 or 3, respectively.
Record from Camera -
Select the cameras that the event will record from. The event can
record on all 4 cameras if necessary. Note that using e.g. 2 cameras will create 2 recordings
each time the event is activated.
Time Period Settings
This section will only be displayed if the Event Type is set as During Time Period or as
Alarm Triggered During Time Period. To configure, specify the days of the week the event
will be active, by checking the appropriate boxes. Set the start time and stop time in the
fields provided. Please note that these settings will be valid every week until the event is
changed or disabled.
Recording will begin at the Start Time and will continue up to and including the Stop
Time on the days selected. For example, recording from 08:00 until 08:00 will produce a 1
minute recording, and recording from 08:00 until 08:59 will produce a 60 minute
recording.
Events must be set to start and stop on the same day, It is not possible in a single event to
record from e.g. 18:00 to 06:00 on the following day. If this type of configuration is
required, two separate events must be used, one from 18:00 until 23:59 on the first day and
the other from 00:00 until 5:59 for the following day.
Alarm Input Settings
This section will only be displayed if the Event Type is set as When Alarm is Triggered or
Alarm Triggered During Time Period. Specify for each configured and enabled alarm how
and when the event should react to the alarms.
Note:
Before the event will record, the conditions for ALL of the configured alarm inputs
must first be met. Unless a Recording Duration has been specified, recording will
stop as soon as any of these conditions ceases to be valid.
The options for how the events will react are:
• Active - the event will react to the alarm when it has been triggered.
• Inactive - this alarm input must be inactive, that is, it must not have been triggered.
• ----- - this alarm will not affect the event.
