Available functionality depends on the system you are using. See the Product comparison chart for more information.
Use the Matrix Event Control tab to configure the automatic sending of live video based on predefined events. You can define exactly which events and cameras to use on a per-Matrix recipient basis. The Matrix Event Control tab displays the list of Matrix recipients defined on the Matrix Recipients tab.
Right-clicking a Matrix recipient brings up a list of devices with belonging events. When you select an event, it is initially highlighted by a red exclamation mark, indicating that there is more you must configure. Right-clicking an event brings up a list of options for the selected event:
Delete [selected event] |
Deletes selected event on the selected device. |
Connect |
Connects to the camera (actual camera is specified after selecting action to be taken). |
Disconnect, then connect |
Disconnect any existing connections, then connect again. With this option the live video appears in the Matrix recipient on a first-in-first-out basis. Each time a new event occurs, video from the latest event is displayed prominently in a specific position on the Matrix recipient, while at the same time video from the older events is shifted to less prominent positions and eventually ”pushed out” of the Matrix recipient in order to make space for the latest event's video. With the Connect option, you may experience that if video triggered by one event on a camera is already shown on the Matrix recipient, videos triggered by another event on the same camera are not displayed prominently as coming from the latest event because the Matrix recipient is already showing video from the camera in a less prominent position. By selecting Disconnect, then connect you can avoid this issue, and ensure that video from the latest event is always displayed prominently. |
Disconnect |
Disconnects any existing connection. Use if a particular event should cause video to stop being displayed in the Matrix-recipient, even if they are not yet old enough to be “pushed out” of the Matrix-recipient. |
If you selected Connect, another red exclamation mark indicates that there is still some configuration to do. Right-click an action to select which camera to apply the action on.
In this example, we have specified that when motion is detected on Camera b, the selected Matrix-recipient should connect to Camera b:
