Event Window

The Event window provides options for configuring how the IP camera handles events. An event is either
of the following:
•
•
When an event occurs, it triggers the IP camera to take certain configured actions. For example, an event
can cause the IP camera to send a notification e-mail message to designated recipients and upload a video
file to an SMTP server or an FTP server, or it can cause the IP camera to activate an output port.
The Event window allows you to designate up to 10 schedules. If an event takes place within a designated
schedule, the IP camera takes the actions that you configure.
To display the Event window, access the configuration windows as described in the
Initial Setup of the IP Camera" section on page
If you change any options in the Event window, except deleting an event from the event schedule list,
you must click Save to save the changes. To discard the changes, click Cancel before clicking Save.
These buttons appear at the bottom of the window. You may need to scroll down to see them.
