6.3 Event Configurations
The “Event Configurations” section allows users to define conditions that constitute an event, its
corresponding trigger action and when it will be triggered. Such setting can reduce the
anagement overhead and notify the administrator only when it’s necessary. m
6.3.1 General Settings
The general settings section can help you quickly configure when an event is triggered, how often
events are triggered and the corresponding actions when events are triggered.
Start the event configuration by defining the general settings:
Define when an event will be triggered.
• Choose “Always” or “Only during…” under “Event Trigger Duration”.
• For the “Only during…” option, choose the days by using the check-box and then define the time
range in those days in the “Start Time” and “End Time” fields that you would like the event trigger
function to be enabled.
How often an event is triggered
• Set a time interval under “Event Trigger Interval” to define how often events are triggered.
Trigger action
Now that you have the event trigger duration and interval defined, choose what action to be taken
during an event trigger:
• You can choose to have the recorder send out the first few frames of the video recorder upon an
event is triggered.
• You can also choose to have the recorder send out a warning message in e-mail or in txt file
format and upload it to a destined FTP server.
6.3.2 I/O Settings
This function allows users to manage camera’s digital input and output ports right from the
recorder. You can setup the recorder to receive triggers from a particular camera’s input port and
trigger a device, such as an alarm that is connected to the recorder or camera’s output port.
Cameras that do not have built-in digital input/output port can also be configured to pair with the
recorder’s DI/DO ports.
