The Event Settings dialog contains all events that can trigger a camera action.
Notes:
Event Logic
In order to filter events, the camera provides an Event Logic: This dialog allows linking events to create logic events only if the linked events occur in a certain sequence and within the specified time frame.
Event Counter
Another possibility to filter events is the Event Counter: It creates an event only if a certain number of events occurs within the specified time frame.
Option | Description | ||
---|---|---|---|
Event Dead Time |
The event dead time defines a period of time (0 .. 3600 s) after an event during which no new events are recognized. By defining an event dead time you can avoid, for example, that a complex action (person walks through the active image area) triggers multiple events.

Passive Infrared Detector (PI) |
The passive infrared detector registers warm moving objects within the sensor area. The sensor reaches about 10 meters (34 ft.) and has a field of view of ± 15°. Use the trigger level to define when an event is triggered. Activate the level meter in the Text and Display Settings dialog and select PIR Detector as source. The level meter helps you find the best possible trigger level for your application. |
||||||||||||||
Video Motion Window (VM/VM2) |
The video motion sensor reacts to movements in certain image areas, called "video motion windows". You can define one or more independent video motion windows for each image sensor (camera lens). Open the Video Motion Detection help page for a detailed description of the parameters and application examples of this sensor. |
||||||||||||||
Microphone (MI) |
The camera's integrated microphone reacts to noises in the camera's perimeter. If the trigger level is exceeded, an event is triggered if the noise lasts longer than the minimum period of time defined. Activate the level meter in the Text and Display Settings dialog and select Microphone as source. The level meter helps you find the best possible trigger level for your application.

Signal Input (SI) |
The camera's signal input can trigger an event. For example, you can connect the door bell with the signal input so that an event is triggered when the bell is rung. Options:
De-Bounce Time This interval prevent the signal input from switching to fast (e.g. if the bell button is being pressed in quick succession).
|
||||||||||||||
Second Signal Input (SI2) Third Signal Input (SI3) Fourth Signal Input (SI4) |
You can set the pins of the RS232 interface for these three additional signal inputs:
*In order to use these signal inputs, the Serial Interface option in the Serial Interface and Modem Setup dialog has to be set to Data and the Mode has to be set to I/O Mode. De-Bounce Time This interval prevent the signal input from switching to fast (e.g. if the bell button is being pressed in quick succession).
|
||||||||||||||
Periodic Event (PE) |
The periodic event is a simple version of a time-controlled event. Use this event if you would like to create events in intervals < 1 minute.
|
||||||||||||||
Time Task (TT) |
Time tasks are controlled by tasks that you can create and manage in the Time Tasks dialog. Activate this option in order to execute time tasks. |
||||||||||||||
User Click (UC) |
This will allow triggering events manually by clicking on the UC Event softbutton. Activate this option if the camera should react to these events. |
||||||||||||||
Recording Begin (RB) | Triggers an event if the camera starts a recording. | ||||||||||||||
Recording End (RE) | Triggers an event if the camera ends a recording. | ||||||||||||||
Recording History (RH) | Triggers an event if the camera records a history image. | ||||||||||||||
Recording Terminate (RT) | Triggers an event if the Terminate Recording function of the camera stops recording to "freeze" the recorded images and to protect them from being overwritten. | ||||||||||||||
Buttons (BT) |
You can trigger an event manually by pressing one ore more keys on the camera body. Define which camera key or which combination of keys will trigger an event. |
||||||||||||||
Left Button (BL) |
You can trigger an event manually by pressing the left key on the camera body. |
||||||||||||||
Right Button (BR) |
You can trigger an event manually by pressing the right key on the camera body. Note that the camera will not announce its network data any more if you activate this option. |
||||||||||||||
IP Receive (RC) |
The camera can trigger an event when it receives an IP notification via TCP/IP:
|
||||||||||||||
COM In (CI) |
The camera can trigger an event when it receives a message via the serial interface (RS232).
|
||||||||||||||
Temperature (TP) |
The integrated temperature sensor can trigger an event when the actual temperature is higher or lower than the value entered here:
|
||||||||||||||
Illumination (IL) |
The image sensors can trigger an event if the illumination is higher or lower than the value entered here:
|
||||||||||||||
Random Event (RD) |
The camera can trigger an event at a random point in time. Enter the number of random events per hour. This value represents the average number of events to be triggered per hour for a longer period. Valid values:
