Events Tab
Use the Events tab to configure camera events and analytics.
Events are activated by user-defined event sources that tell the device how to react when an event occurs. Event handlers are the actions that
the device takes when an event occurs. For example, a system source can be configured to send email to an operator if the system shuts-down
and restarts.
Sources Settings
The sources settings page defines the camera functions that are automatically triggered by an event source. The camera supports Alarm,
Analytics, System, and Timer sources. The Alarm source is the camera input for an external signaling device, such as a door contact or motion
detector. The Analytics source triggers when any configured behavior is detected. The System source is activated when the camera restarts. The
Timer source is a user-defined event that activates an event after a specified amount of time.
Handlers Settings
The handlers settings page defines the actions that a camera takes when an event occurs. The camera supports Send Email, Write JPEG to
SD Card, Upload JPEG to FTP Server, and Open/Close Relay handlers. The Send Email handler sends an email to a defined email address when an
event is activated. The Write JPEG to SD Card handler saves a JPEG of the activated event to an SD card. The Upload JPEG to FTP Server handler
saves a JPEG of the activated event to a defined FTP server. The Open/Close Relay handler sends a signal to an external device when an alarm or
relay is triggered.
NOTE: The Pelco Alarm accessory must be connected to the camera’s accessory port for Open/Close Relay to work.
Analytic Configuration Settings
The analytic configuration settings page includes behaviors for which you can create custom profiles that contain different camera settings. With
these profiles, you can set up different scenarios for the behavior that automatically detects and triggers alarms when the specific activity is
detected.
Pelco analytics can be configured and enabled using a standard Web browser. The device is preloaded with user-configurable behaviors and is
capable of running several behaviors at the same time. The number of behaviors is limited to the available processing power of the device.
Available processing power is determined by the settings for compression standards, resolution, image rate, bit rate, and analytic configuration.
Pelco analytics are also compatible with Endura
®
or a third-party system that supports alarms using Pelco’s API. Refer to the specific product
documentation for instructions on how to configure and enable Pelco analytics.
NOTE: Analytic alerts can be seen in the event stream, but alarms are only transmitted through Pelco’s API.
Pelco analytics include the following behaviors:
Adaptive Motion: Detects and tracks objects that enter a scene and then triggers an alarm when the objects enter a user-defined zone. The
objects are monitored until they exit the scene.
Camera Sabotage: Detects contrast changes in the field of view. An alarm is triggered if the lens is obstructed with spray paint, a cloth, or
covered with a lens cap. Any unauthorized repositioning of the camera also triggers an alarm.
