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:

Detectors

-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 25.

-Tampering — trigger the rule when tampering is detected, see Camera Tampering, on page 25.

Hardware

-Video Signal — trigger the rule if video signal is lost.

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

Input Signal

-Manual Trigger — trigger the rule using the Manual Trigger button in the Live View page, see Controls on the Live View Page, on page 9 . 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

-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.

System

-System Ready — trigger the rule when the product has been started and all services are running. This can for example be used to send a notification when the product restarts.

Time

-Recurrence — trigger the rule periodically, see Recurrences, on page 31. This can for example be used to upload an image every 5 minutes.

M7014 specifications

The Axis Communications M7014 is a state-of-the-art video encoder designed to enhance the capabilities of existing analog cameras by integrating them into modern IP-based video surveillance systems. This encoder facilitates the transition from traditional surveillance infrastructure to more advanced and flexible IP solutions, making it an ideal choice for organizations looking to modernize their security setups.

One of the main features of the M7014 is its ability to encode video in multiple formats, including H.264 and Motion JPEG. H.264 is particularly valued for its efficient compression capabilities, allowing high-quality video to be transmitted using less bandwidth, which is essential for optimizing storage and network resources. The encoder supports a resolution of up to 720p, ensuring clear and detailed footage that can be crucial for identifying individuals or events.

The M7014 offers four channels, enabling users to connect and manage multiple analog cameras simultaneously. This multi-channel capability is perfect for businesses needing extensive coverage over different areas without the need to invest in multiple encoders. Additionally, the encoder provides two-way audio capabilities, allowing for real-time communication between the monitoring center and the field, which adds an extra layer of security and operational efficiency.

Incorporating advanced video analytics, the M7014 supports functionalities such as motion detection and audio detection, which trigger alerts and notifications in case of suspicious activities. This proactive approach ensures that security personnel are immediately informed about potential threats, enabling timely responses.

Moreover, the M7014 is designed with ease of installation and integration in mind. It features Power over Ethernet (PoE), reducing the need for additional power cables and simplifying the setup process. This technology also allows for remote management and configuration, making it easier for users to monitor and adjust settings from various locations.

Furthermore, the device is equipped with Axis' unique One-Click Cloud capability, which allows for seamless connection to cloud services, enhancing the flexibility and scalability of the surveillance system. The M7014 is also compatible with a variety of video management software, ensuring that users can choose a platform that best meets their operational needs.

In summary, the Axis Communications M7014 is a powerful and versatile video encoder designed to support the transition from analog to IP surveillance.
