Firmware User’s Manual V5.05.07 HTTP Server HTTP CGI servers are programs that run on web sites or many devices. They can be custom programmed to perform a large variety of actions based upon the input. You can define which CGI server to connect to here, and the user / password required to log into the target server. The actual message / command is setup in the Notification messages / URL commands section. You may define two separate CGI servers. IP devices are also CGI servers.

Firmware User’s Manual V5.05.07 Trigger Interval: How does it work? When a motion is detected or the device receives a DI trigger, usually users want the camera to stay on high alert for a minimum duration of time before returning to normal mode. This duration is controlled by setting the trigger interval value. During this time, the device will NOT respond to a second trigger. The device will stay in the triggered state for as long as the trigger continues to be effective.
Firmware User’s Manual V5.05.07 DO: To setup DI, please define the Active level as 0 or 1. If the active level is set as 1, then camera will change the output voltage to high when this response is activated by an event rule. The voltage will go back to low when the event ends. Interval determines the minimum duration of each DO response( in seconds).
Firmware User’s Manual V5.05.07 To setup Notification Messages, make sure to enable the message, then determine what type of message to send (HTTP CGI or email).

You can define up to three group of settings to upload video/snapshot. Snapshots can be sent to FTP / HTTP CGI and via Email, while video can only be uploaded to FTP or HTTP CGI servers.
Firmware User’s Manual V5.05.07 Upload Period: IP device will provide video/snapshots for the number of seconds here. It will stop uploading video/snapshot at the end of this period. If you have video management software recording from this camera at the same time, the normal recording through NVR will not be affected, and goes on through out the event period and afterwards. But the special upload session will end as the event ends. Image during Upload Period: This is used only by snapshots.
Firmware User’s Manual V5.05.07 Video Source: Choosing the video source from video 1 or video 2. Auto Naming Rules for Files and Folders: To properly track images and videos, a well thought out naming rule is necessary.

Symbol %YYYY Description Example 4 digits for year 2009 for year 2009 the last 2 digits of 4 digits year 09 for year 2009 %MM two digits for month.
Firmware User’s Manual V5.05.07 URL commands can be sent to HTTP CGI servers upon event. This provides the possibility of highly intelligent response upon event. IP devices and many other devices also have embedded CGI servers that may be controlled. When Event Handler sends an URL command, it will send one set of command when the event is trigged, and another as the event becomes inactive.
Firmware User’s Manual V5.05.07 Event List You may define a maximum of 10 Event rules, which will be shown in abbreviated form in the Event List panel. It will display under each Event ID, the days of the week it will be active, the start time and duration of the active period, the type of the source of trigger, and the actions used in the response. If the row is greyed out, this means the rule is currently not enabled and stays inactive.
Firmware User’s Manual V5.05.07 How is it triggered? Events may be triggered by several sources: You may also ask the event to be repeatedly triggered during this scheduled time. The interval is determined in minutes. You may use this with email / FTP upload to take snapshots at regular intervals. DIs: For selected models only, the IP device may be triggered by Digital Input. Motion: You may trigger the event if one or many Motion Detection regions encounter a motion trigger.
Firmware User’s Manual V5.05.07 better overall accuracy in both day and night conditions. Some night time only MD regions may also be activated this way. The event period will end when the camera returns to day mode, which will then reset the camera to the original settings. Ready for service: This will trigger the event responses once the device boots up. You can use this to create a notification system that keeps record of when the device has been rebooted via email.
Firmware User’s Manual V5.05.07 region from Runtime profile to Event profile. The profile will return to runtime settings at the end of this event. You may program one motion detection region to be disabled at runtime, but enable it with event handler under some circumstances.

Firmware User’s Manual V5.05.07 Save & Reboot This section tells you how to save all the settings and reboot this IP device. This is critical because some settings might not take effect before save and reboot. Click the [Save & Reboot] item to display the “Reboot Page”. The Action LED indicator will go dark to indicate that the IP device is rebooting. After around 30 seconds, the Action LED will light up again to indicate that the reboot is completed.
