The following steps explain how you can configure Doors.NET to associate video recordings with an alert.

Notes:

• To retrieve H.264 recorded video clips from an AXIS camera, you will need to install the Axis Media Control SDK. The SKD can be downloaded from the following location: https://kerisys.sharefile.com/d-s55b32be11c09457983ea84742fc85def
• There is no guarantee that recorded video exists at the camera for the Doors.NET event timestamp - some cameras are edge devices that may or not have an SD card for video storage.
• These video recordings are not stored in the Doors.NET client - they are retrieved from the camera's recorded video storage location.
• The camera must be already be configured for recording.
• All Axis cameras require an on-board SD-card for video storage.
• Some Axis camera models also have AI level (i.e face detection or vehicle) in addition to basic motion.
• Many cameras will send video clips to be saved at the NVR or a cloud source.
• Pre-pre/post event settings has a minimum value of 5. If it is set to lower that 5 it will default to 5 regardless.

9.1 Steps to View Recorded Video Clips

The following steps explain how to view recorded video clips for a camera that has been associated with a reader.

1. Add a camera and then associate the camera with a hardware object (for example, a reader).
2. Select the reader and verify that you can view live video from the camera (click on the eye icon).
   
   
   
   

3. Close the live video window.

4. Generate an an event at the reader (for example; access granted, access denied, door forced, etc).

5. In live events, in the icon column, you will see a camera icon. If you do not see the icon column you will need to use the field chooser to display the column.
   
   
   
   
   

6. Double-click the camera icon and you will see a message prompting you to view video playback. Click YES.

7. If video exists at the camera, the video clip will be displayed.
   
   
   
   
   

8. By default you will see 10 seconds before the event (Pre Event) and 10 seconds after the event (Post Event) - So a 20 second playback (+/- 10 seconds from event time) is the default. These settings can be configured in the camera settings within Doors.NET.

Note: These video recordings are not stored in the Doors.NET client - they are retrieved from the camera's recorded video storage location.
