AXIS Camera Station
Event Configuration
Event Configuration
Event conguration is a powerful tool to reduce the number of recordings, to interact with devices connected to I/O ports and to alert
operators about important events.
To congure events, AXIS Camera Station uses rules. A rule is a set of conditions that dene how and when actions should be
performed. A rule consists of triggers and actions. Triggers dene when the rule should be activated. A rule can have multiple
triggers and will be active as long as any of the triggers is active. If the rule has multiple actions, all actions will be performed
when the rule is activated.
Triggers
The following triggers are available:
Motion Detection The motion detection trigger is activated when the selected camera detects motion within a
dened area. Detection is performed by the camera which means that no processing load to
AXIS Camera Station Server.
Avoid using the motion detection trigger to start recordings if motion recording is enabled in the
camera. To nd out if motion recording is enabled, go to Conguration > Recording Settings.
Active Tampering Alarm The tampering trigger is activated when the selected camera is repositioned or when the lens is
covered, sprayed or severely defocused. Tampering detection is preformed by the camera which
means that no processing load is added to AXIS Camera Station Server.
Active Tampering Alarm is available for cameras with support for Camera Tampering and with
rmware 5.11 or later.
AXIS Cross Line Detection AXIS Cross Line Detection is an application that can be installed on cameras and video encoders.
The application detects moving objects that cross a virtual line and can, for example, be used to
monitor entrance and exit points.
Before using AXIS Cross Line Detection as a trigger, the application must be installed on the
camera. Download the application from www.axis.com. Then go to the Camera Management
workspace, select the camera, right-click and select Install camera application. See Camera
Applications on page 47.
The trigger is activated when an application detects a moving object. Since detection is performed
by the application on the camera, no processing load is added to AXIS Camera Station Server.

Platform.
