Event Notification

Alarm-out

This table lists all the alarms coming from your cameras. From here you can set delays to the alarm (allowing, for example, an employee time to enter a passcode) and select or set a schedule.

E-mail

Here you create the list of people who receive email alerts from alarms. To add a person, enter their email, select the schedule during which they'll receive notifications, and click Add.

You can edit the schedule for a recipient in the table, or delete them outright.

At the bottom, you can click the eye toggle to hide or reveal the sender's email address.

Edit Sender takes you to the Network > Email page.

Schedule Management: This opens the Schedule dialog. Three schedules are preset for your system. The first is the default 24×7 schedule. This cannot be edited or deleted.

The other two default to weekdays (24×5) and weekends (24×2), but can be edited and renamed to fit your needs. Click Add above the schedule list to add a new schedule.

When you click Edit, it opens to the Edit Schedule dialog. At the top you can rename the schedule. Click Erase or Add to modify the schedule bars. Click and drag in a schedule bar to add or erase times.

Apply saves all your changes.

Audio

In the Voice Broadcast tab, you set parameters for any speaker you have attached to your system.

Select the camera, the voice (audio .WAV file) to use, how many times to repeat it, volume, and language (currently English only). When an alarm is triggered, the camera's speaker broadcasts the file as specified.

Click Listen to test the uploaded audio, and Apply to save the settings.

In the Audio Device tab, you set parameters for any microphones and speakers you have attached to your system. Most x20 cameras have built-in microphones.

  • Camera: Select the camera you are editing.

  • Audio Device: Click Enable to activate both speaker and microphone.

  • Audio IN Device: Select the built-in microphone or an external line microphone.

  • Input Volume: How sensitive the microphone is to noise.

  • Speaker (built-in): Luma x20 cameras do not currently have built-in speakers. This is included for future compatibility or third-party integration.

  • LOUT (external): For an attached speaker, choose whether it is to be used for playing alarms or for two-way communication.

  • Audio Out Volume: How loudly your speaker plays.

  • Audio In Encode: Set to either G711A or G711U as your project requires.

  • Apply: Saves all your changes.

Light

If you have an alarm light attached to the camera, you can set the strobe duration and frequency when an alarm is triggered. No X20 cameras currently support this; it is supplied for future use.

AI Event

Here you set the parameters for AI analysis. There are four tabs to this page, two under People/Vehicle Detection, and two under More.

People Vehicle Detection / Line Crossing

Pro Tip: This is also easily configured in OvrC

The camera can use AI to determine whether something crosses a line. Line crossing cannot be used if area intrusion (below) is being used.

Click Enable Detection by IPC to activate or deactivate the use of lines.

Parameter Settings tab

Under Rule (center screen), select which of the 4 lines you want to modify. Enable Draw Line, then click and drag in the camera view image to create the line. You cannot edit a line; as soon as you click in the camera view, it erases any old line and starts a new one.

When you are satisfied with your line, under Rule, set the duration of the alarm trigger (additional motion during this time do not trigger an additional alarm) and crossing direction from the dropdown.

To the right, under Advanced, choose whether the NVR should save a representative photo. These are also sent with any push notifications.

  • Save Original Picture: This saves the complete image of the moment that the event was triggered.

  • Save Target Picture: This saves just a cutout of the target object that triggered the event.

Click Apply before exiting.

Detection Target tab

Under Detection Controls, choose whether to analyze for people, vehicles, and/or non-motor vehicles like bikes. Set the sensitivity levels, then test your settings for efficacy.

To the right, under Advanced, choose whether the NVR should save a representative photo. These are also sent with any push notifications.

    • Buzzer: The system buzzes when targets are detected. To set the delay time of the buzzer, please see Buzzer for details.

    • Pop-up Video: The system pops up a window of the corresponding video. To set the duration of the video, please see Display.

    • E-mail: The system send e-mail alerts when targets are detected, attaching the captured target picture and the original picture so that you can view the whole scene when the alarm occurs. See E-mail Configuration for details on setting up recipients.

    • IPC_Audio is not yet available on any X20 cameras; this is included for future products. To set the camera audio track, repetition, and volume, refer to Audio for details.

People Vehicle Detection / Intrusion

Pro Tip: This is also easily configured in OvrC

The camera can use AI to determine whether someone enters the marked area. Intrusion cannot be used if line crossing (above) is being used.

Parameter Settings tab

Each camera has four intrusion zones that can be defined.

Under Rule, use the bottom dropdown to select which of the 4 zones you want to modify. Each zone has six corners; enable Draw Line and click in the camera view image to add each corner one at a time. If you want fewer than six corners, make the corners you want, then disable Draw Line. The camera will complete your shape when you click Apply. Click Clear to delete the drawing so you can draw a new shape.

Duration is the length of the alarm trigger. Additional motion during this time do not trigger an additional alarm.

Regional Activities and Direction are disabled at this time, but have been left for future compatibility.
