ACTIONS AVAILABLE IN SCRIPTS
An Endura script is like a macro but provides much more power and flexibility. Scripts may be used to control almost all system functions and may
be combined in almost any order. The following scriptable actions have the corresponding effects:
• Display video: Displays video from the indicated camera.
• Start recording: Starts recording video from the indicated video source.
• Stop recording: Halts recording of the indicated video source.
• Run script: Initiates execution of a remote script.
• Wait: Pauses execution of a script for a given number of seconds.
• Send mail: Sends e-mail message to a given recipient.
• Activates relay: Activates a relay device.
• Preset: Moves camera to a specified preset. A preset allows you to direct a PTZ (camera positioning system) to a predetermined location.
• Pattern: Runs a specified pattern on a camera. A pattern allows you to program the movements of PTZ-enabled cameras.
To program scripts, click the Setup button , and then click the Scripts tab. For details, refer to Creating Scripts on page 140.
