Events

Events

The Axis product can be configured to perform actions when different events occur, for example, start a recording when motion is detected. The set of conditions that defines how and when the action is triggered is called an Action Rule.

Available Action Rule triggers and conditions include:

•Applications — use installed applications to trigger the rule, see Applications, on page 36.

•Detectors

-Audio Detection — trigger the rule when audio is detected, see Audio Detection, on page 34.

-Live Stream Accessed — trigger the rule when any stream is accessed and during edge storage playback. This can for example be used to send notifications.

-Motion Detection — trigger the rule when motion is detected, see Motion Detection, on page 33.

•Hardware

-Fan — trigger the rule if the fan is malfunctioning. This can for example be used to send maintenance notifications.

-Network — trigger the rule if network connection is lost or restored. This can for example be used to start recording to the SD card.

-Temperature — trigger the rule if the temperature falls outside or inside the operating range of the product. This can for example be used to send maintenance notifications.

•Input Signal

-Digital Input Port — trigger the rule when an I/O port receives a signal from a connected device, see I/O Ports, on page 54.

-Manual Trigger — trigger the rule using the Manual Trigger button in the Live View page, see Controls on the Live View Page, on page 11. This can for example be used to validate actions during product installation and configuration.

-Virtual Inputs — can be used by a VMS (Video Management System) to trigger actions. Virtual inputs can, for example, be connected to buttons in the VMS user interface.

•PTZ

-Autotracking — trigger the rule when autotracking starts or stops, see Autotracking, on page 29.

-Error — trigger the rule if the PTZ functionality is not working correctly. This can for example be used to send maintenance notifications.

-Moving — trigger the rule when the camera view moves due to a PTZ operation. This can for example be used as an additional condition to prevent an action rule triggered by motion detection to record video while the camera view moves due to a PTZ operation.

-Preset Reached — trigger the rule when the camera stops at a preset position. This can be for example be used with the Send Images action to upload images from the preset position.

-Ready — trigger the rule when the PTZ functionality is ready to be used. This can for example be used to steer the camera to a specific preset position when the product is started.

•Storage

-Disruption — trigger the rule if storage problems are detected, for example if the storage device is unavailable, removed, full, locked or if other read or write problems occur. This can for example be used to send maintenance notifications.

Q6042 PTZ specifications

The Axis Communications Q6042 PTZ is a sophisticated network camera designed for demanding surveillance environments. Known for its high-resolution imaging and advanced features, this camera is an ideal choice for monitoring large areas such as city centers, airports, and parking lots.

One of the standout features of the Q6042 is its 1080p resolution, offering crisp, detailed video quality. The camera supports H.264 compression technology, which minimizes bandwidth use and storage requirements without sacrificing image quality. This makes it very efficient for users looking to maintain high video fidelity while maximizing their network and storage capacity.

Another key characteristic of the Q6042 is its 18x optical zoom, enabling operators to zoom in on distant subjects without blurring the image. Combined with its advanced pan and tilt capabilities—offering a 360-degree continuous rotation and a tilt range of -20 to +90 degrees—the PTZ camera can cover vast areas and track moving objects with ease. This functionality is particularly useful for security personnel who need to monitor dynamic environments.

The Q6042 is also equipped with Axis' Wide Dynamic Range (WDR) technology, which enhances the camera's ability to capture clear images in challenging lighting conditions. This feature is vital when monitoring areas that experience significant contrasts in light, such as entrances and exits.

The camera is built for durability and features an IP66-rated weatherproof housing, protecting it from dust and heavy rain. It is also resistant to vandalism, making it suitable for outdoor installations where security is a prime concern.

Integrated with Axis’ Corridor Format technology, the Q6042 can be configured to monitor tall and narrow areas, optimizing the field of view for situations like hallways or alleys. This maximizes the effectiveness of surveillance and reduces the amount of unnecessary data captured.

Moreover, the Q6042 supports various network protocols and can be seamlessly integrated with other security systems. With its built-in analytics capabilities, the camera can be equipped with features such as motion detection and audio detection, allowing users to receive alerts based on specific events.

In summary, the Axis Communications Q6042 PTZ camera offers a robust solution for high-security surveillance needs, equipped with high-resolution video, extensive zoom capabilities, and advanced analytics, making it a versatile tool for modern security applications.
