[Axis] Trigger on one cam but action on another cam?

[Blinkenlights 0]

On Axis cameras (q series) there a way to trigger by motion detection on one camera but send an input signal to another camera for an action on that 2nd camera?

 

For example, camera 1, a fixed bullet cam aimed at an entrance detects motion. It then sends an input signal to camera 2, a PTZ camera which normally has more important things to do, to pan around 180 degs and start autotracking what passed through the entrance. Both cams are on the same network.

Yes, but you will need to use the Axis Event handling API, Vapix, to do it.

There is an example of something similar here.

Thanks, I'll check that out. I've seen Vapix before but it didn't cross my mind.
