AXIS Q6042–S PTZ Dome Network Camera

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

-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 34.

-Shock Detected – Trigger the rule when the Axis product detects it has been tilted or hit. See Shock Detection, on page 34.

Hardware

-Heater – Trigger the rule if the heater 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. SeeI/O Ports, on page 54.

-Manual Trigger – Trigger the rule using the Manual Trigger button in the Live View page. SeeControls on the Live View Page, on page 13. 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. SeeAutotracking, on page 30.

-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.

The Axis Q6042-S PTZ Dome Network Camera is a sophisticated device designed for high-performance surveillance in diverse environments. With its robust construction and advanced features, this camera is ideal for use in critical areas such as airports, train stations, and city surveillance, ensuring reliable monitoring and security.

One of the standout features of the Axis Q6042-S is its high-definition image quality. The camera offers a resolution of up to 720p, allowing for clear and detailed video capture. This is further enhanced by its powerful zoom capabilities, featuring a 36x optical zoom lens. This enables users to focus on distant objects without sacrificing image quality, making it easy to identify individuals or objects of interest.

The pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) functionality of the Axis Q6042-S is another significant characteristic. The camera can pan 360 degrees continuously and tilt from -20 to 90 degrees. This extensive range of motion provides complete coverage of the surveillance area, allowing operators to track fast-moving objects efficiently. Additionally, with preset positions, users can quickly move to key areas of interest, streamlining the monitoring process.

For versatility in different lighting conditions, the camera includes features such as day/night functionality and Axis' Lightfinder technology, which enhances its ability to capture color images in low-light environments. The advanced image processing capabilities ensure that the video remains clear and detailed, regardless of the lighting conditions.

Another technological advantage of the Axis Q6042-S is its advanced compression technologies, including H.264 and Motion JPEG. These technologies allow for efficient video streaming, reducing bandwidth and storage requirements without compromising video quality. The camera also supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), simplifying installation by allowing both power and data to be delivered over a single cable.

Moreover, the Axis Q6042-S is equipped with built-in analytics capabilities, enabling it to detect motion and trigger alerts based on predefined parameters. This intelligent functionality not only enhances security but also reduces the need for constant monitoring, allowing operators to focus on critical events.

In summary, the Axis Q6042-S PTZ Dome Network Camera stands out with its high-definition imaging, extensive PTZ capabilities, low-light performance, advanced compression technologies, and built-in analytics. Its robust design and versatile features make it an excellent choice for any surveillance application requiring precision, reliability, and ease of use.
