Controlling and Monitoring

By entering http requests in your browser's URL field, you can:

• drive the transistor output high or low

• monitor the status of the 4 digital inputs

Tip!

Developers wishing to create applications incorporating sophisticated alarm conditioning using the

transistor output and digital inputs are encouraged to read the Camera API, HTTP-Interface Specifica-

tion, available from the Axis Web at www.axis.com.

Transistor Output

You can use the supported output to directly drive a maximum load of 24V DC at 100mA.

By connecting additional relay circuitry, it can also drive heavier loads.

The transistor output is controlled using HTTP requests, as shown in these examples:

Set output 1 ON

Example 1: -

http://myserver/axis-cgi/io/output.cgi?action=1:/

Set two 300ms pulses with 500ms delay between the pulses on output 1.

Example 2: -

http://myserver/axis-cgi/io/output.cgi?action=1:/300\500/300\

Example 3: -

Wait 1 second before setting output 1 ON.

http://myserver/axis-cgi/io/output.cgi?action=1:1000/

Digital Inputs

Four digital inputs allow the AXIS 250S to be configured for device triggered events. For

example, by connecting a motion detector to a digital input, it is a relatively simple

procedure to trigger an event each time the detector is activated.

Querying the Status of Digital Inputs

The status of the four supported digital inputs can be queried in exactly the same way as

the relay output. Simply enter the following URL to query the status of the digital inputs:

Monitor data on input ports 1, 2, 3, and 4

Example: -

http://myserver/axis-cgi/io/input.cgi?check=1,2,3,4
