Setting Up an Action Rule

An action rule defines the conditions that must be met for the product to perform an action, for example record video or send an email notification. If multiple conditions are defined, all of them must be met to trigger the action.

The following example describes how to set up an action rule to record video to a network share if there is movement in the camera’s field of view.

Set up motion detection and add a network share:

1.Go to Detectors > Motion Detection and configure a motion detection window. See page 34

2.Go to System Options > Storage and set up the network share. See page 53.

Set up the action rule:

1.Go to Events > Action Rules and click Add.

2.Select Enable rule and enter a descriptive name for the rule.

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.
