Many of our scripts are capable of sending data to the Axis Camera Station (ACS). To be able to send data to ACS, you need to modify the registries on the computer where ACS is running. The complete instructions from Axis are here.
In general, you have to create a new String Value in this path:
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\.NETFramework\AppContext
| You can follow the instructions below or use this file to add the value to your registry automatically. |
Note, that the folder name "AppContext" can't be presented on your computer and you have to create it.
After it create a new String Value with name Switch.Axis.DevelopmentFeatures.ExternalEventsTab and modify its value to "true".
Once the registries have been modified, restart the ACS application and a new add button will appear in the External data sources section.
Data inserter
For data entry, the main system administrator in the domain usually does not work and a new user must be created specifically for ACS.
Filtering in ACS
Use regular expressions to filter the values in ACS. The name of the column with the filtered value must always be in square brackets.
Other possible problems
ACS sets the camera to HTTPS if you want to keep it with this setup, set up in the script HTTPS (insecure) for CamOverlay App settings.
If you want to switch the camera back to HTTP, do it in Devices > Management
