• In combinations. For example, the clicking of an event button could make a camera start
transferring video to the surveillance system while two outputs are triggered and an e-mail
alert is sent to relevant people.
Event buttons can be global (available for all cameras) or tied to a particular camera (only available
when the camera in question is selected).
Event Buttons Window
The Event Buttons window lets you specify event buttons. When
specified, event buttons become available in the Smart Client –
see page 140 (in the Smart Client, event buttons are actually not
buttons; instead users manually trigger events by selecting them
from a list). Event buttons can be global (available for all cameras)
or tied to a particular camera (only available when the camera is
selected). You access the Event Buttons window by clicking the
Event Buttons... button in the Administrator window (see page
26).
Defined Events List
The Event Buttons window features a list of specified event buttons. When event buttons have
been defined, you are able to expand elements in the list (by clicking ) to get an overview of all
defined event buttons; global event buttons as well as event buttons specified for individual
cameras. Example:
Example: A global event button with an associated
timer event has been specified. Also, two event
buttons have been specified for an individual camera.
Specifying Event Buttons and Timer Events
To specify an event button, first determine whether you want the event button to be available
globally or for a particular camera only.
Specifying Global Event Buttons
To specify a global event button, select the Global entry at the top of the Defined Events list, then
click the Add new event... button. This will open the Add New Event window (for adding event
buttons) – see page 86, in which you specify a name for the event button as well as whether the
event button should trigger any e-mail alerts when clicked. When you click OK in the Add New
Event window (for adding event buttons), you are returned to the Event Buttons window, in which
your new event button will appear in the Defined Events list.
Specifying Camera-Specific Event Buttons
To specify an event button for a specific camera, select the required camera in the Defined Events
list, then click the Add new event... button. This will open the Add New Event window (for adding
event buttons) – see page 86, in which you specify a name for the event button as well as whether
the event button should trigger any e-mail alerts when clicked. When you click OK in the Add New
