How To Configure An Axis Snapshot Action In Device ManageR

You may email snapshots from Axis cameras discovered in Device ManageR.

To configure an Axis camera snapshot action, please follow these steps:

1. Open Device ManageR in your web browser. You may open it by entering ‘localhost:8080’ or ‘<IP address of Device ManageR’s host system>:8080’ in your browser’s address bar.

2. Select Alerts / Tasks in the navigation bar to the left.

3. In the Settings menu, select Actions.

4. Select Add to open the Add New Action window.

5. In the Add New Action window, enter a name for the action in Name. In our example, we’ve called the action ‘Email Snapshot to IT Mgr.’

6. (Optional) In Description, you may, if you wish, enter any notes you feel would be helpful.

7. In Action Type, select the action you wish to execute from the drop-down list. Once you make your selection, options unique to that action will appear.

– In Action Type, select Email Snapshot from AXIS Camera from the drop-down list. The unique options for this action type are the Contact and Device fields.

– In Contact, select a contact that has an email address associated with its record.

– In Device, select the AXIS camera you wish to get a snapshot from. This drop-down will show all compatible Axis cameras discovered by Device ManageR.

8. In If not successful, retry this Action, you may leave the default, 0, or enter a higher number.

9. (Optional) If you wish, you may associate a schedule with this action by selecting Optional Schedule and choosing a schedule from the drop-down list. (If you attach a schedule to the action, it can be performed only during the hours you’ve set up in the Optional Schedule.)

10. Then select Save to save the action.

11. Once you’ve saved, your action will appear in your Actions list.

You may now associate this action with an Action / Notification List. Please see this FAQ for more information: How To Configure Action / Notification Lists In Device ManageR.
