AXIS I/O Module

7min

Overview
This guide covers the installation, configuration, and operation of the Irisity Digital I/O integration. The integration supports AXIS P8221 Network I/O Audio Module. 

The Axis module contains configurable input ports. Changes in Digital Input state (i.e., opening or closing the circuits) can activate or de-activate analytics rules in IRIS+. A typical use case is using an external alarm system that is activated at the end of a business day, which should then activate the analytics rules in IRIS+ 

The IRIS+ Digital IO Gateway service runs on the IRIS+ Edge device, communicates with the Axis module, and responds to signals from the module input ports to affect analytics rules. 
Integrations setup in IRIS+
The Axis module can be added to any IRIS+ Edge device in your IRIS+ account. Once added, it can be set up to control any rule on any folder or camera in your account.
