Axis P3344-VE [31/68] Camera tampering

AXIS P33 Series - Events

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. Please see the online help

for descriptions of each available option.

Configuration example:

1. Click Add scheduled... on the Event Types page. The Scheduled Event Type Setup dialog appears.

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

3. Set the Priority (High, Normal or Low).

4. Set the Activation Time parameters (24h clock) for the event - start on Sundays at 13.00 with a duration of 12 hours.

5. Set the When Activated... parameters, (what the camera would do at the specified time) for example, send uploaded

images to an e-mail address.

6. Click OK to save the Event in the Event Types list.

Camera Tampering

The camera tampering application generates an alarm whenever the camera is repositioned, or when the lens is covered,

sprayed, or severely defocused. You must first create an event (see

How to set up a triggered event, on page 30) for the camera

to send an alarm.

The Minimum duration parameter sets the minimum tampering period, that is an alarm will not be triggered until this period

has lapsed, even if the tampering conditions are otherwise met. This can help prevent false alarms for known conditions that

affect the image. If the camera lens is sprayed or covered so that the camera live view becomes dark, it will not be possible to

distinguish this situation from other situations where the same effect is seen, such as when lighting conditions change.

When the Alarm for dark images parameter is enabled, alarms are generated for all cases where the lights are either dimmed

or turned off, or if the lens is sprayed, covered, or rendered severely out of focus. If not enabled, no alarm will be sent. After

you define these settings, click Save.
