Example: Using Event Control

Very frequently, you would like only selected events to trigger an action, send a message or store an event story. Starting with software version V1.9.4 you can use Event Selection to control Event Stories, Actions and Messages.

Scenario

You would like the camera to store a single image without pre- and post-alarm images every 30 seconds.
Also, the camera is supposed to react to movements within the motion detection window and those registered by the PIR detector. Once the camera recognizes a movement, you would like it to store the event plus 10 pre- and 10 post-alarm images.
Additionally, the camera is supposed to send an e-mail with an attachment that contains the event story .
