Introduction

The following document highlights how to add a door station to Axis Camera

Station and then complete further configurations that can be made to meet an

operator’s need:

The document explains how to:

Add a door station to Axis Camera Station.

Play an audible alert on the client PC when a call from the door station

is being made.

Create an alarm alert associated with the call (creates alarm log and

pop up).

To bring the door station video to the front view.

This following configuration has been tested with the following products and

firmware:

AXIS A8004-VE, firmware 5.65.1 and Axis Camera Station 4.2.

Step 1 –Adding a door station

Add the door station as you would a camera:

1) “Configuration”/ “Add/Edit Cameras”/ “Add”

2) Select the door station when it is found by the search to add the device to the system. Once

the door station is added give it a name the operator can relate to.

The door station should be available in the live view. When you put the mouse on the screen you will

get an “Open Door”button appear.

If you press the button on the door station the incoming call buttons will appear. You can then answer

or decline the call.

Step 2 –Configure an audible alert on the client PC

To configure an alarm sound to alert the operator that there is an incoming call.

1) Select the configuration tab (top right corner)

2) Select Options/Customize

3) Select Notifications and select “Beep” or “Sound file”. Useful alarm .wavs can be

found on the internet.

Note: Use this when configuring any alarm on Axis Camera Station to trigger and audible

alert on the operators PC and not just an event in the alarm box.

The next step is to create an event trigger from the door station to trigger the audible alert.

1) Select “Configuration”/ “Event Configuration”/ (you will see the default record and

door open rules created by the door station and any others already configured in the

system). Select “New” and then select “Add”.

2) In the add trigger window select “Device Event”. Select the “A8004-VE in the device

Step 4 –Create actions associated to the trigger

You can now create actions associated with the trigger. The following describes how the call

will trigger the audible alert and log it with the alarm list.

1) Add the action “Raise Alarm” – Give it a description like “Call from Main Entrance”.

You can also put a description or extra text such as “Check ID”.

2) You can also add a procedure (tick the box and upload txt file.). This can contain

additional information such as who to contact if there is an issue.

An optional action would be to bring the video of the door station to the front. This is optional

as this could interrupt the operators viewing of a live security event, so should be discussed

when configuring.

3) Add another action “Live View”, select the door station in the View and tick the bring

application to the front. Press “Next”.

4) Configure Schedule if needed.

5) Name the Rule “Door Station Actions” or similar and press finish.

When the push button is pressed, the following should occur:

An audible alert will play on the operator PC.

A door alert will be in the alarm log.

The door station video will come to the front view.

be recorded.

door entry station.
