Event handling

Video servers with support for advanced event handling can be configured to perform certain actions when certain types of events occur.

A scheduled event can be activated at pre-programmed times, in a repeating pattern on selected weekdays.

A triggered event can be activated from:

• a switch (doorbell) connected to an input port on the video server
• detected movement in a configured motion detection window
• a lost signal from a video source
• a manually activated action e.g. from an action button in the web interface
• restart (reboot) after e.g. power loss

Example, car park: When a car passes past the connected camera, and an event has been configured to act on this, the video server can record and save video images to an FTP server or send a notification email to a pre-configured email address with a pre-configured message. The video images can be sent as an attachment with the email.
