Manual event

Available functionality depends on the system you are using. See the Product comparison chart for more information.

When you add manual events, specify the following properties:

[List of defined global events and cameras]

Contains a Global node and a list of all defined cameras. You can configure as many manual events as required, no matter whether they are global or camera-specific. A + sign next to the Global node indicates that one or more global manual events have already been configured. A + sign next to a camera indicates that one or more manual events have already been configured for that camera.

Event name

Specify a name. Names must be unique, and must not contain any of these special characters:  < >  &  '  "  \  /  :  *  ?  |  [  ]

Some cameras only support event names of a certain length and/or with a certain structure. Refer to the camera's documentation for exact details.
