Axis Motion Recording on PTZ Movement

To enable motion based recording on an Axis device during PTZ movement, complete the following steps: <br>

On the Axis camera’s web page, configure a recipient for the event. The Type should be TCP; the IP address should be the address of the exacqVision server; the port can be any open port. <br>

Configure the rule on the Axis camera’s web page. Trigger should be PTZ and Moving; Schedule should be Always; Type should be Send Notification; Recipient should be the recipient from the previous step; the message should be the keyword that exacqVision is listening for to trigger the event. Note the message for later. This example uses the last two digits of the IP address and the input number on the encoder. Select the option to send notifications continuously while the trigger is active. <br>

In exacqVision Client, select Serial Profiles. Enter a name and click Apply. Click New under Event Keywords and enter the message created in the previous step. Click Apply again. <br>

In exacqVision Client, select Serial Ports. Click New. Use should be Access Ctrl; the name can be any identifier; Type should be TCP Listener; Address should be the IP address of the Axis device; Port should be the port assigned in step 2; timeout should be 0 (zero). <br>

In exacqVision Client, select Event Linking. Click New. Event Type should be Serial Port; Event Source should be the serial profile that includes the key word message; Action Type should be Record Video; Action Target should be the device that we want to record motion on PTZ movement; Post-Trigger should be at least five seconds to ensure that the correct amount of data is recorded after the command has been issued. <br>

Configure Event Linking to Include Video in Notifications Triggered by Non-Video Events

Description 

Starting with exacqVision 5.10, you can configure email notifications to include a video clip or still image from one or more cameras even if the event does not directly involve video (that is, if the event is not video motion, video loss, IP camera connection, or analytics) using Source Groups to associate video to the event.

Product 

  • exacqVision Server
  • exacqVision Client

Solution

The basic steps are:

  1. On the Event Linking age (Configuration > YOURSERVER > Configure System > Event Linking) click New
  2. In Event Type column select ‘Source Group’
  3. Below the Event Source column select New to open the Source Group Window
  4. Enter a name for the source group
  5. Tick ‘Any Source’ in the requires section
  6. Select New
  7. Select the Event Type of the trigger
  8. Select the Event Source of the trigger
  9. Select New
  10. For IP Cameras – select IP Camera Connection and the camera you would like to attach video from
  11. For Analog Cameras – select Video Loss and the input of the camera you want to attach video from
  12. Select the Action Type ‘Notify’
  13. Select the Action Target ‘Message Profile’
  14. Select Apply to save the changes and close the Source Group Window

Note: Make sure that the Attach Preview box is checked on the E-mail Message Profile being used.

WARNING: Because ‘Any Source’ must be used, and the source group includes a video loss or IP camera connection trigger a notification will be sent based on those events.

Pro Tip: Source groups can be scheduled on/off on the Schedule Page.

In this IP Cameras example when the Input Trigger – Driveway East Soft Trigger 1 goes into alarm an email will be sent along with a video clip from the Driveway East Camera using the “Gmail” E-mail Message Profile.

Upgrading to exacqVision Server 5.10 on S-Series Systems

The exacqVision Server version 5.10 Linux installer requires additional library packages (libnspr4-0d and libnss3-1d) that are not included on S-Series systems manufactured before December 2013. To avoid a failure when upgrading to version 5.10, complete the following steps. <br>

NOTE: These steps are required ONLY for exacqVision S-Series systems.<br>

Systems with Internet Access

Install the required libraries directly from the repository:

sudo apt-get install libnspr4-0d

sudo apt-get install libnss3-1d

<br>

Systems without Internet Access

Download the following packages to a USB flash drive using a separarte computer:

http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nss/libnss3_3.15.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_i386.deb


http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nss/libnss3-1d_3.15.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_i386.deb


http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/universe/n/nspr/libnspr4-0d_4.9.5-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_i386.deb

<br>

Connect the USB flash drive to the S-Series system and install the packages in the following order: <br>

sudo dpkg -i libnss3_3.15.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_i386.deb <br>

sudo dpkg -i libnss3-1d_3.15.3-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_i386.deb <br>

sudo dpkg -i libnspr4-0d_4.9.5-0ubuntu0.12.04.1_i386.deb <br>

After this is complete, you can update to exacqVision Server 5.10.

Remote Updates Fail on Windows-based exacqVision Servers

On some Windows-based exacqVision servers with exacqVision software earlier than version 5.8, remote updates can fail if the system time changed between the time the system was started and the time the remote update is initiated. <br>

To work around this issue, stop and restart the exacqVision Server service, and then immediately initiate the remote update. <br>
