Video Triggers

Video triggers are system events that start or stop recording. Any event related to the selected component type can trigger recording including exception events originating from a video server. A source component must be specified for each type of triggering event. For example, the “door” component must be specified for the “Door forced” event message. There is no limit to the number of definable video triggers.

Defining Video Triggers

The following information can be defined:

•   A name in two languages

•   The component type: type of component to be programmed for the trigger. Events are related to system components: gateway, connection, controller, etc.

Based on an event that occurred on the selected system component, the trigger will start or stop recording.

NOTE: The   list of parameters depends on the video server type connected to EntraPass. It can vary depending on server feature availability and decisions on subsequent implementation. All EntraPass events can be associated with the video trigger function.

1  - From the Video toolbar, select the Video trigger button. The Video trigger window appears.

2  - Click the new button (or select an existing trigger if you want to modify one). Assign a descriptive name to the trigger.

NOTE: An alert   message appears when you attempt to save before selecting the component type as well as the component for the trigger being defined.

3  - From the Component type  drop-down list, select the component that will trigger the recording event. It may be a door controller, for example.

4  - As a trigger source you can select Single , group  or All components from the component radio buttons.

5  - Use the three-dots button to select a component.

6  - From the Trigger schedule  select a schedule for the trigger to be valid. If necessary, you can define a specific schedule for this trigger ( Definition  > Schedule ). If there is no schedule selected for a trigger, the trigger will be disabled.

7  - From the Event category selection , choose between the EntraPass  or Intrusion  groups of events from the drop-down list.

NOTE: This field is available only when an intrusion panel has been configured in the system.

8  - Click on the Events tab and select events from the list.
