URL actions allow you to trigger actions in external systems when alarms or events occur in ICPAM. For example, URL actions can trigger the following in other systems:
· Identiv Energywise: a URL action can turn switch ports on or off, including any devices connected to those ports using Power-over-Ethernet (PoE). For example, when a user enters a building using a Identiv access control badge, the switch-powered equipment associated with that user can be turned on. When they exit the building, the equipment is turned off.
· Camera integration: a URL action can control the pan, tilt and zoom (PZT) functions of cameras associated with a device. For example, the camera can turn and zoom toward a door when badge is swiped at a door.
· Digital media player (DMP) integration: when a door event occurs, a URL action can display a custom HTML page on a DMP display.
To configure URL actions, select URL Actions from the Admin menu.
· Double-click an entry to view configuration settings.
· Click Preview to view the URL for an action.
· Select an entry and click Invoke to run a static action. (Dynamic actions cannot be manually invoked).
