naxisVideo-AxisVideoEventCameraExt

This component serves as a container for video surveillance system events that result from motion detected and camera failure.

To access these properties, expand Config > Drivers > NAxisVideoNetwork > NAxisVideoCamera > Events > Motion Detected and double-click Proxy Ext.

In addition to the standard properties (Status, Fault Cause, Enabled, Device Facets, and Tuning Policy Name), these properties apply to motion detected events.

Property Value Description
Conversion drop-down list (defaults to Default)
Defines how the system converts proxy extension units to parent point units.

Default automatically converts similar units (such as Fahrenheit to Celsius) within the proxy point.

 NOTE: In most cases, the standard Default conversion is best.  

Linear applies to voltage input, resistive input and voltage output writable points. Works with linear-acting devices. You use the Scale and Offset properties to convert the output value to a unit other than that defined by device facets.

Linear With Unit is an extension to the existing linear conversion property. This specifies whether the unit conversion should occur on “Device Value” or “Proxy Value”. The new linear with unit convertor, will have a property to indicate whether the unit conversion should take place before or after the scale/offset conversion.

Reverse Polarity applies only to Boolean input and relay output writable points. Reverses the logic of the hardware binary input or output.

500 Ohm Shunt applies to voltage input points only. It reads a 4-to-20mA sensor, where the Ui input requires a 500 ohm resistor wired across (shunting) the input terminals.

Tabular Thermistor applies to only a Thermistor input point and involves a custom resistance-to-temperature value response curve for Type 3 Thermistor temperature sensors.

Thermistor Type 3 applies to an Thermistor Input point, where this selection provides a “built-in” input resistance-to-temperature value response curve for Type 3 Thermistor temperature sensors.

Generic Tabular applies to non-linear support for devices other than for thermistor temperature sensors with units in temperature. Generic Tabular uses a lookup table method similar to the “Thermistor Tabular” conversion, but without predefined output units.

Read Value read-only Displays the last value read from the point.
Write Value read-only Displays the last value written to the point.
Most Recent Event additional properties Refer to Most Recent Event
Auto Expiration true (default) or false Determines if the software applies the Auto Expiration Interval to events.
Auto Expiration Interval hours minutes seconds Defines an interval of time after which a Motion Started event expires (changes to Motion Stopped) if no other events occur.

This interval ensures that the camera does not continue to record and store video unnecessarily.

Point Id additional properties Refer to Point Id properties
Enable Detection On Boot true (default) or false Turns on and off the detection of camera events when the station starts.

Most Recent Event

Property Value Description
Event Type read-only Identifies the type of event (Motion Started, Motion Stopped).
Description read-only Describes the event.
Timestamp read-only Reports when the event occurred.
Is Normal read-only Indicates if the event functioned as expected.
Icon read-only Identifies the icon associated with the event.
Meta Data additional properties Opens a facets window for adding descriptions to associate with events.

Point Id properties

These properties are required by older cameras whose firmware is older than version 5.60. More recent camera so not require you to configure these properties.

Property Value Description
Event Server text Provides the name of the event server.
Motion Window text Provides a name for the window that monitors any type of motion within its boundary. An area of a video screen defines this window.
Action Start text Provides text to display when an action begins.
Action Stop text Provides text to display when an action ends.
Niagara Event Type drop-down list Selects the type of event.

Motion Started initiates the action of detecting motion.

Motion Stopped terminates the action of detecting motion.

Tamper initiates an event due to someone physically manipulating the camera.

Fault initiates a problem in the camera.

Custom Event initiates some other event.

Null Event indicates that no event occurred or was received.
