Event monitoring window

In the Event Monitoring window, you can configure the exacqVision client to react to events that occur in connected servers. Before you configure the exacqVision client to react to an event, you must create an event monitoring profile. An event monitoring profile is a set of actions, such as displaying live video or triggering a sound, that are triggered by an event such as motion or trigger inputs. After you create an event monitoring profile, you must activate it and assign a camera to it using the Live window. To create an event monitoring profile, see Creating an event monitoring profile.

You can designate any view-type event monitoring profile as the persistent event monitoring profile (PEMP). Only one profile at a time can be designated as the PEMP. When an event triggers the PEMP, the PEMP view window pops up. You can minimize but cannot close the PEMP view window. In the Client window, on the Settings tab, you can select a PEMP. For PEMP configuration instructions, see Settings tab in the Client window.
