In this article, I explain how to use an Axis camera<\/strong> to call a preset  <\/strong>on a PTZ<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This is very useful for the cases where you have some fix cameras that detect motion and send a notification to PTZ camera to point to a specific location.<\/p>\n

You can use <\/span>HTTP notification<\/span><\/strong>, and <\/span>Axis VAPIX commands <\/span><\/a>for that.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here you can find a details explanation and a <\/span>video <\/span><\/a>by the end of the article.<\/span><\/p>\n

How the notification works on Axis cameras<\/h2>\n

OK, here’s a quick explanation of how the HTTP notification works.<\/p>\n

Axis devices have an event system that works with triggers<\/strong>, conditions<\/strong>, and recipients<\/strong>. It’s possible to create events and use interactions between them.<\/span><\/p>\n

The following diagram illustrates how the process works.<\/p>\n

So, the idea is to create some presets in the PTZ camera and set up the notification in the fix camera, it’s that simple \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

Now, let’s go to the real setup…<\/p>\n

How to set up the events and notifications<\/h2>\n

For the real example, I’m using an Axis PTZ and a fix box camera.<\/p>\n

It’s necessary to create the presets <\/strong>on the PTZ and recipient <\/strong>and rule <\/strong>on the box.<\/p>\n

Let’s do it…<\/p>\n
