AXIS P3344 Fixed 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. The action rule will apply at specific periods called Schedules. It is possible to specify how often the action rule will recur. This is called Recurrences.

Available Action Rule triggers include:

•Detectors, for example audio detection and motion detection, see Detectors, on page 28

•Input Signal — when the product’s I/O port receives a signal from an external device, such as a smoke detector or switch

•PTZ — when the product’s pan/tilt/zoom controls are activated or when the view stops at a preset position

•Storage — when a storage device is available, locked or full

•System — when the product is started

•Time, see Recurrences, on page 33

Possible actions include:

•Day/Night Vision Mode

•Output Port — activate an output to, for example, sound an alarm or lock a door

•Play Audio Clip

•Record Video — record video and save to a selected storage

•Send Images and Notifications — once recipients have been set up, a notification can be sent that an event has occurred

•Status LED

Convert Event Types to Action Rules

The internal Event Management system has been redesigned from firmware version 5.40. The legacy user Event Types in the camera will continue to work but will not be visible in the user interface of the camera. The Event Types need to be converted to Action rules to become visible in the user interface.

To convert Event Types to Action Rules go to Events > Action Rules and click Convert.

Caution

This is not recommended when using a VMS based on the old Event Management System.

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 email notifications. If multiple conditions are defined, all must be met to trigger the action.

The following example describes how to set up an action rule to send an email if there is movement in the product’s field of view:

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

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

3.Select Detectors from the Trigger drop-down list.

4.Select Motion Detection from the drop-down list. This option is only available if a motion detection window has been configured, see page 29.

The automatic switching between color mode during the day and monochrome mode at night enhances visibility, making them ideal for 24/7 monitoring in various settings.

The P3344 series utilizes progressive scan technology, which is essential for capturing fast-moving subjects without motion blur, ensuring smooth and clear video playback. This feature is particularly crucial in environments like retail spaces or public areas where swift actions need to be accurately recorded. Furthermore, Axis's proprietary Lightfinder technology allows these cameras to deliver color images in low-light situations, further expanding their range of operational capabilities.

Another key characteristic of the P3344 series is its flexibility in installation. The cameras come with a user-friendly design, allowing for easy mounting and integration into existing security systems. They support Power over Ethernet (PoE), which simplifies installation by requiring only one cable for power and data transmission, reducing the complexity of cabling during setup.

Moreover, Axis Communications emphasizes advanced security features in the P3344 series, including Motion Detection, Audio Detection, and built-in tampering alarms. These features not only enhance the camera's effectiveness in monitoring suspicious activities but also provide operational alerts to security personnel.
