Creating a Custom Event

1. Get camera’s access token
   call camera api to get access token

2. From the directory containing the python samples, call cameras_create_custom_event.py to create a custom event.
   

   Code Block
   pythonpython3 ./cameras_create_custom_event.py -a "dfasdfasdfasrwecsdcsdf=" -e "test event"

   
   Where -a is the camera’s access token and -e is the name of the new event being addedcreated.6.html#/servers/get_admin_servers_

1. From the directory containing the python samples, call cameras_enable_motion_detector.py to enable motion detection events.
   

   Code Block
   python3 ./cameras_enable_motion_detector.py -access_token dfasdfasdfasrwecsdcsdf= -enabled true

   
   Where enabled is either true or false depending on if you would like to enable or disable motion detection.

1. with the parameter record_stat=on.
   

   Code Block
   python3 ./cameras_event_processing_events.py -access_token sdafasdfasdfasdfasdfasrwecsdcsdf= -ename motion -record_stat on

   
   Where access_token is the camera’s access token and ename is the name of the event.

2. To stop recording events call cameras_event_processing_events.py with the parameter record_stat=off.
   

   Code Block
   python3 ./cameras_event_processing_events.py -access_token sdafasdfasdfasdfasdfasrwecsdcsdf= -ename motion -record_stat off

   
   Where access_token is the camera’s access token and ename is the name of the event.

How to View Event Records

1. Call storage_api_get_events.py to view recorded events within a specified time interval.
   

   Code Block
   python3 ./storage_api_get_events.py -access_token sdafasdfasdfasdfasdfasrwecsdcsdf= -start 2022-12-01T08:30:00 -end 2022-12-02T08:30:00 -limit 10

   
   Where access_token is the camera’s access token, start is the beginning of the time interval, end is the end of the time interval, and limit is the maximum number of events to include in response.
   Event data is of shape:

   Code Block
   { 'camid': int, 'id': int, 'name': str, 'thumb': { 'height': int, 'id': int, 'size': int, 'time': 'str', 'url': str, 'width': int }, 'time': str }
