AXIS 216FD/FD-V/MFD/MFD-V - Event Configuration

6. Set the When Triggered... parameters, that is, define what the camera will do if

the main door is opened - upload images to an FTP server or send an e-mail

notification.

7. Click OK to save the event in the Event Types list.

Please see the online help for descriptions of each available option.

Note:

Up to 10 event types can be configured in the camera, and up to three of these can be configured to upload

images. File names can be formatted according to specific requirements. See File Naming & Date/Time For-

mats online help.

Pre-trigger and Post-trigger buffers

This function is very useful when checking to see

what happened immediately before

and/or after a trigger, for example, 30 seconds before and/or after a door was opened.

Check the Upload images checkbox under Event Types > Add Triggered... > When

Triggered... to view the options. All uploaded images are JPEG images.

Include pre-trigger buffer

- images stored internally in the server from the time

immediately preceding the trigger. Check the box to enable the pre-trigger buffer, enter the

desired length of time and specify the required image frequency.

Include post-trigger buffer -

contains images from the time immediately after the trigger.

Configure as for pre-trigger.

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. If this occurs, an entry is created in

the unit's log file.

Continue image upload (unbuffered) - enables the upload of video images for a fixed

length of time. Specify the length of time for the uploaded recording, in seconds, minutes

or hours, or for as long as the trigger is active. Finally, set the desired image frequency to

the maximum (the maximum available) or to a specified frame rate. The frame rate will be

the best possible, but might not be as high as specified, especially if uploading via a slow

connection.

Scheduled Event

A Scheduled event can be activated at

preset times, in a repeating pattern on selected

weekdays.

Configuration example:

Click Add scheduled... on the Event Types page.

2. Enter a descriptive Name for the event, such as Scheduled e-mail upload.
