Check this to start recording when there is an incoming alarm from an I/O. This
option also permits Axis cameras that have built-in motion detection to trigger
recordings in AXIS Camera Station. They are treated as any other I/O alarm.
When setting up the camera's built-in motion detection, there are three ways
that detected motion can cause an alarm in AXIS Camera Station:
By uploading images to the same FTP directory as specified in Cameras tab.
•
• By configuring the camera to also trigger an I/O when motion is detected.
See Use camera motion detection below.
•
Selecting this option for motion detection has advantages as there is no
network traffic when motion is not detected and the processing load on the
AXIS Camera Station server is reduced as the camera does the motion
detection. The only disadvantage is that the camera state is not monitored
and it could be offline without being noticed.
Check to start recording when motion is detected or when there is an I/O alarm.
Use of this feature is recommended, as it saves hard disk space and uses less
processing power in comparison with continuous recording.
Check if you want recording to start when motion stops. This is useful in e.g. an
industrial environment for detecting when machinery stops running.
This feature is only available for cameras and video servers with built-in motion
detection and it can be used independently of AXIS Camera Station. Check this
option to use the camera's built-in motion detection to trigger recordings in
AXIS Camera Station.
Selecting this option for motion detection has advantages as the status of the
camera is monitored continually and the processing load on the AXIS Camera
Station server is reduced as the camera does the motion detection. The only
disadvantage is that there is some network traffic to monitor the camera.
Check a priority level for the recording, Medium is checked by default:
Low = No email notification is sent upon an alarm.
•
Medium = An email is sent upon an alarm to the recipient(s) defined under
•
Alarm notification, on page 48.
High = An email is sent upon an alarm to the recipient(s) defined under
•
Alarm notification, on page 48.
This button will configure the motion detection settings for AXIS Camera
Station when the Use camera motion detection check box is not selected. If
using the camera's built in motion detection i.e. the Use camera motion
detection check box is selected, a web browser will open where you can
configure the camera's built-in motion detection settings.
Note that the following procedure is only used when using the AXIS Camera
