Click on the “Add” button to begin.
Trigger:
You need to specify the trigger type.
The drop-down list below shows the
available options. Note that depending
on your camera model, the options will
vary.
Motion Detection- The camera monitors the video image for movements and triggers
an alert when it detects motion. Motion detection needs to be configured first for that to
work.
Tampering Detection- The camera can detect if it’s being tampered with, e.g., if
someone covers the lens, and triggers an alert when this happens. Tampering detection
needs to be configured for that to work.
Digital Input- If your camera is equipped with digital inputs (see hardware installation
guide), then you can use them as a trigger mechanism. A common example would be to
use 3
rd
party motion detection sensors that trigger the camera to start a recording.
Periodical- This trigger type can be used if you want the camera to perform the same
action over and over again, based on a time period. A typical application would be to
have the camera refresh an image on your web site every 60 seconds.
