AXIS P5532/AXIS P5534 - Events Events Pre-defined parameters, known as an event or Event Type can trigger certain actions in the camera. A common event type is an alarm that causes the camera to upload images. Many event types use an Event Server, to receive uploaded images. An event that is triggered by a signal, such as a door switch, motion detection, or system event, is called a triggered event, see page 26. A scheduled event runs at pre-programmed times.
AXIS P5532/AXIS P5534 - Events Triggered Event A triggered event can be activated by: • Input ports • A manual trigger – using the manual trigger button on the Live View page or through the VAPIX® Application Programming Interface (API) • Movement in a motion detection window • Audio – when the sound level rises above or falls below the alarm level (configured under Video & Audio > Audio Settings, see page 18).
AXIS P5532/AXIS P5534 - Events Notes: • • • Pre-trigger and post-trigger buffers will be lost if the connection to the event server fails. The maximum length of the pre-/post-buffer depends on the video image size and selected frame rate. If the pre- or post-buffer is too large for the camera’s internal memory, the frame rate is reduced and individual images may be missing.
AXIS P5532/AXIS P5534 - Events Motion Detection Motion detection is used to generate an alarm whenever movement occurs (or stops) in the video image. Up to 10 Include and Exclude windows can be configured: • • Include windows target specific areas within the whole video image. Exclude windows define areas within an Include window that should be ignored (areas outside Include windows are automatically ignored).
