Event Actions
The camera can be commanded to carry out a specified operation when an analytic alert is triggered
which are defined using event actions. Up to 5 event actions can be configured on the camera.
The event action can be used to configure any combination of the following actions:
• Record a clip to micro SD Card.
• Send an external alarm via email that includes alarm detail, where to retrieve the AVI
video file and one JPEG picture of the event if recording MJPEG to micro SD Card. If
MJPEG is not being recorded on micro SD Card, then no JPEG picture is sent.
• Send an AVI video file to a pre-configured external FTP or CIFS server. The video file
contains pre and post alarm video buffer.
• Trigger alarm out.
• Audio Playback: Playback and Audio clip from the camera speakers when triggered.
Note:A micro SD Card must be inserted to enable recording and so that the camera can send FTP,
CIFS, and SMTP events. SMTP e-mails are sent without inserting a micro SD card but do not include
snapshot images of the event trigger. Micro SD cards are also required for audio clip storage on the
camera.
