AXIS 214 PTZ - Event Configuration 37

Event Types

An Event Type is a set of parameters describing how and when the AXIS 214 PTZ is to perform certain actions.

Example: If somebody passes a connected sensor and an event type has been configured to act on this, the cam- era can e.g. record and save images to an FTP server, and/or send a notification email to a pre-configured email address with a pre-configured message. Images can be sent as email attachments.

Triggered Event

A Triggered event is activated by e.g:

•a switch connected to an input port on the AXIS 214 PTZ

•a manual trigger, e.g. from an action button in the web interface

•on restart (reboot) after e.g. power loss

How to set up a triggered event

This example describes how to set the AXIS 214 PTZ to upload images when the main door is opened:

1.Click Add triggered on the Event types page.

2.Enter a descriptive name for the event, e.g. Main door.

3.Set the Priority - High, Normal or Low (see online help files).

4.Set the Respond to Trigger... parameters when the event is to be active, e.g. only after office hours.

5.Select the trigger alternative from the Triggered by... drop-down list, e.g. an Input port with a connected sensor if the door is opened.

6.Set the When Triggered... parameters, i.e. set the actions that the AXIS 214 PTZ will take if the main door is opened, e.g. upload images to an FTP server.

7.Click OK to save the Event in the Event Types list.

Please see the online help for descriptions of each available option.

AXIS 214 PTZ specifications

Axis Communications, a pioneer in network video solutions, has made significant strides with the release of its AXIS 214 PTZ camera. This robust camera is designed for professional applications requiring remote pan, tilt, and zoom capabilities, providing excellent versatility and control in surveillance scenarios.

One of the standout features of the AXIS 214 PTZ is its ability to deliver high-quality video with a resolution of up to 720x480 pixels. This ensures that users are able to capture clear and detailed footage, which is essential for effective monitoring and incident identification. The camera also has a wide dynamic range, allowing it to perform well in varying lighting conditions, which can often be a challenge in outdoor settings.

The PTZ function allows users to control the camera's movement remotely, making it possible to monitor large areas with just one device. It can pan a full 360 degrees and has a tilt range that enables it to cover a significant vertical span. Coupled with a 10x optical zoom, users can focus in on specific details, whether it be a facial recognition task, reading a license plate, or just monitoring activity in a specific area.

In terms of connectivity, the AXIS 214 PTZ is equipped with Power over Ethernet (PoE), enabling both power and data to be transmitted over a single cable. This simplifies installation and can reduce installation costs, as the need for separate power sources is eliminated.

Axis’s proprietary technologies enhance the AXIS 214 PTZ's functionality. The camera features Axis’ Zipstream technology, which optimizes bandwidth and storage consumption without compromising video quality. This is particularly beneficial for users managing multiple cameras across large facilities, as it helps to efficiently store and retrieve crucial footage.

Moreover, the camera is designed with weather resistance in mind. With an IP66 rating, it can withstand tough environmental conditions, making it suitable for outdoor use. This durability means users can rely on it in various weather scenarios, from rain to extreme temperatures.

In summary, the Axis Communications AXIS 214 PTZ is a feature-rich surveillance solution that combines high-quality imaging, remote control capabilities, efficient power management, and resilient construction. Its advanced functionalities make it an ideal choice for organizations looking to enhance security and monitoring in diverse settings.
