Recognized license plates

This event is generated when the License plate recognition module is enabled on the camera and a vehicle license plate number is recognized.

Different attributes can be set for this event. For example, if the License plate identified attribute equals Yes, the action will be performed when any license plate that is in the database is recognized. If several attributes are set, the action will be performed only when all the attributes are fulfilled. If no attribute is set, the action will be performed when any number is recognized.

Camera number attribute is obligatory for this event.

No connection with camera

This event is generated when there is a disruption of communication with the camera.

Note

Instead of this event, it is recommended to use the No connected camera event, because due to such issues with the networks or network interfaces as their congestion, low throughput, or bad signal quality the short-term disruptions and reconnections of cameras may happen, leading to the generation of many No connection with camera events.

End of external alarm

This event is generated when the End of external alarm event comes from an external system. It is used for integration of Eocortex with the external systems.

This event is generated when the software motion detector stops registering movement in the frame. To do this, the option Enable motion start/end events must be enabled in the motion detector settings.

It is possible to set the Area attribute for this event, selecting a zone set in the motion detector settings. If this attribute is not set, the action will be performed for any zone.

Abandoned object

This event is generated when the Abandoned Objects Detection module is enabled on the camera and the abandoned object which has remained in the frame for a longer period of time than the one specified in the settings is detected.

Sending HTTP request

This event is generated when the Send HTTP request action is executed.

No connected camera

This event is generated when the communication with the camera the connection with which was lost has not resumed after the set time.

It is required to set the Breakage duration (seconds) obligatory attribute for this event.

It is also possible to set the Stream type attribute that may have one of the following values:

• Camera is turned away;

• Camera flaring;

• Camera blocking.

Camera input signal

This event is generated when an electrical signal is sent to the signal input of the camera.

Note

It is also required that the signal input support is implemented in Eocortex for the particular IP camera model. Contact Eocortex technical support service for more information.

It is required to set the Input number and Alarm availability obligatory attributes for this event.

External event

This event is generated when an External system event comes from the external system. It is used to integrate the external systems with Eocortex.

Note

The external system events are transmitted to the Eocortex server using Eocortex API HTTP requests.

Different attributes can be set for this event. If no attribute is used for generating the event, then it is not required to add such an attribute.
