AXIS 262 - Recording Video
Camera triggering alarms
If you have selected to trigger alarm recordings using the camera rather than the local
input ports, the camera (or video server) needs to be configured to send a notification
message to the AXIS 262.
To set up notification on any Axis device that supports HTTP notification:
1. Open the Event Servers page in the Axis camera/video server.
2. Add an HTTP server with the following details:
• Use AXIS 262 as the event server name.
• Enter http://<IP-address>/axis-cgi/operator/record/record.cgi as the URL.
<IP-address> should be replaced with the IP address or host name for the AXIS
262.
• Specify a user name already registered in the AXIS 262. This can be an operator
or an administrator.
• Password: Specify the password for the above user.
3. The next step is to configure an event type that will send a notification to the
event server (the AXIS 262). Open the Event Types page in the Axis camera/video
server.
4. To add a triggered event, click Add triggered ...
5. The General and Respond to trigger... settings do not need to be edited.
6. Select the circumstances that start the event in the Triggered by... drop-down list.
7. Check the box for Send HTTP notification, and select the Event Server as
configured above.
8. If the trigger is for when the alarm starts, enter
action=start&trigger=alarm&sourceno=videosourceno in the Custom parameters
field. “videosourceno” is the camera number (1 to 8).
9. If the trigger is for when the alarm stops, enter
action=stop&trigger=alarm&sourceno=videosourceno in the Custom parameters
field. “videosourceno” is the camera number (1 to 8).
10.Click OK.
