Input Number
The I/O port number that will be used on the camera or video server.
Input/Output
In the
Input/Output field, choose if the alarm event is input or output
triggered.
•
Inputs are used to create an alert or start/stop a camera.
See Example 1: Configure an alarm received from an INPUT on an AXIS
camera or video server, on page 43
•
Outputs are controlled by the user and can be configured with texts on the
buttons controlling it. Outputs can control the output ports on selected
devices and activate e.g a siren or a light.
See Example 2: Configure an alarm received from an OUTPUT on an AXIS
camera or video server, on page 44
NO/NC
Normally Open or Normally Closed. This determines how the device on the I/O is
configured. You can select an open or closed I/O as the normal state:
•
Normally Open means that the power pulse through the I/O is broken. An
alarm can then be set up to trigger when there is a constant power pulse,
i.e. when the I/O closes.
•
Normally Closed means that there is a constant power pulse through the
I/O. An alarm can then be set up to trigger when the power pulse is broken,
i.e. when the I/O opens.
Flip-Flop
Enabling Flip-Flop means that for outputs, the I/O will return to its normal
state after a few seconds.
Example: A gate is normally closed (NC). In this case, enabling Flip-flop means
that if the gate is opened the I/O device can be setup to automatically close the
gate after a few seconds.
I/O type-specific data
Enter the IP address of the camera/video server the I/O is located on. Enter the
user/password for accessing the Axis device, if required. All Axis devices have a
default user called "root," which has the default password "pass".
On Alarm
PTZ position
If the camera is PTZ-capable and uses preset positions, the position specified
here will automatically be assumed when an alarm occurs. If multiple PTZ
cameras are in use and all require positioning on an alarm, define a preset
position that uses the same name on each camera.
Alarm Priority
Alarm priority is defined under the Cameras tab.
Enable sound on alarm
This will play a sound every time there is an alarm. The sound file to play is
specified under the General tab, see General, on page 37.
Open Text
The text that appears on the push button that opens the I/O.
