Programming Script Editor - Administrators and developers wishing to create a spe-
cial level of customization within their applications can create their own programming
scripts using the embedded PHP-based Script Editor. These scripts are configured into
the file system of the AXIS 231D/232D.
Note:
PHP is a server-side scripting language that is both open-source and cross-platform. You can obtain further
information and a free download of the complete hypertext preprocessor software from the official PHP
Website at: http://www.php.net/
More Scripting Information
Axis maintains a specialist site for users and developers who want to create their own
scripts at: http://www.axis.com/
Using these programming scripts, you can develop applications for event triggering, alarm
notification via e-mail, picture storage to FTP locations - and many other functions.
The available commands and programming syntax is described in detail, and several
practical examples are available. Detailed instructions on how to download complete
scripts into the file system are also provided.
Caution!
Improper use may cause unexpected behavior or even cause loss of contact with the unit. If a script does cause
problems, reset the unit to its factory default settings (in which case, a backup file may be of use to return the
unit to its latest configuration). Axis strongly recommends that you do not use this function unless you
fully understand the consequences. Note that Axis Customer Services will not assist with customized scripts.
