Description & Pain Point

- Please note
This solution only applies to network cameras that have the [Handover] feature and whose event rules are Boolean logic.

- In the [Event Rule] menu of the network camera, alarm output as [Event Action] can be set in the following ways.

- If [Always] is selected, the alarm will be output until stopped by the user.
- If one of [5s], [10s], [15s] is selected, the alarm will be output during this time.

- Alarm outputs are triggered when a specific event occurs. However, the above settings are not sufficient to automatically deactivate the alarm output when the event ends.
- This is because the alarm output is triggered at a set time or continuously, regardless of whether the event has ended.
- To automatically deactivate the alarm output based on the event status, you can use [Hand over] as follows.

Solution

 We'll use [Handover] to send a SUNAPI command to itself when the event has ended.

<Example>

- When a person is detected by an AI camera, [Alarm Output] is enabled.
- When the person disappears, [Alarm Output] is automatically disabled.

1. Go to [Event]  [Transfer] menu. and click [Add] menu.

2. Create the handover to disable [Alarm Out].

- No. : Select [Handover] number as you want.

- IP Type: Select [IPv4]

- Type: Select [HTTP]

- IP Address : Enter the IP address of the receiving device.

                       In this case, the camera sends commands to itself,

                       Enter the IP address of the camera itself.

- Port : Enter the HTTP port number.

            User can check it at [Basic] - [IP & Port] - [Port] tap

- User : Enter the login ID of the camera.

- Password: Enter the camera login password.

- Action : Select [Custom].

- Query String : Enter the command to be sent.

                          In this case, enter the following SUNAPI command
                          stw-cgi/io.cgi?msubmenu=alarmoutput&action=control&AlarmOutput.1.State=Off

<Transfer setting result>

3. Go to [Event] - [Event Rule] menu. And click [Add] menu.

1) Create a [Rule 1] to enable the alarm output when a person is detected.

2) Create a [Rule 2] to disable the alarm output when NO person is detected.

- Check [Invert].
