Alarm and Event Configuration

-Network – Triggers the action rule when the network connection is lost. Select Yes to trigger the action rule when the network connection is lost. Select No to trigger the action rule when the network connection is restored.

-Peer Connection – Triggers the action rule when the Axis product has established a connection with another door controller, if the network connection between the devices is lost, or if the pairing of door controllers has failed. This can for example be used to send a notification that a door controller has lost its network connection.

•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 48.

-Manual Trigger – Triggers the action rule when the manual trigger is activated. It can be used by a client such as an access management system, through the VAPIX® application programming interface, to manually start or stop the action rule.

-Virtual Inputs – Triggers the action rule when one of the virtual inputs changes states. It can be used by a client such as an access management system, through the VAPIX® application programming interface, to trigger actions. Virtual inputs can, for example, be connected to buttons in the management system's user interface.

•Schedule

-Interval – Triggers the action rule at the schedule’s start time and remains active until the schedule’s end time is reached.

-Pulse – Triggers the action rule when a one-time event occurs. That is, an event that happens at a specific time and has no duration.

•System

-System Ready – Triggers the action rule when the system is in state ready. For example, the Axis product can detect the system state and send a notification when the system has started.

Select Yes to trigger the action rule when the product is in state ready. Note that the rule will only trigger when all necessary services, such as the event system, has started.

•Time

-Recurrence – Triggers the action rule by monitoring the recurrences that you have created. You can use this trigger to initiate recurring actions such as sending notifications every hour. Select a recurrence pattern or create a new one. For more information about setting up a recurrence pattern, see Set Up Recurrences on page 39.

-Use Schedule – Trigger the rule according to the selected schedule. See Create Schedules on page 38.

•Output Port – Activate an I/O port to control an external device.

•Send Notifications – Send a notification message to a recipient.

•Status LED – The status LED can be set to flash for the duration of the action rule or for a set number of seconds. The status LED can be used during installation and configuration to visually validate if the trigger settings, for example the door open too long trigger, work correctly. To set the status LED flash color, select an LED Color from the drop-down list.
