Configuring URL Actions

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.
