Description

 

Building automation and security technology combined flawlessly

The world’s first KNX connection (plug-in) for networking products from the Axis Communications company.

Combine the world of building automation

(KNX) with the security technology of the Axis Communications company. Utilise the strengths of both worlds and integrate network cameras, door stations and network loudspeakers into the KNX – with no additional hardware! Simply plug our plug-in into the Axis IP product, configure it and Bob’s your uncle!

Reliable motion detection via KNX

Who needs umpteen camera recordings of trees moving in the wind or moths flitting around the light?
In future, use your KNX motion detector to start recordings and record only those things which are important.

Enjoy your private sphere

If you’d like to enjoy the garden, deactivate motion detection and/or activate the private zone masks of your surveillance camera, e.g. with a KNX door contact on your terrace door. Bothersome switching off of the PoE power supply is no longer necessary.

The camera produces the deterrent

If unauthorised persons tamper with your house, the camera registers this movement and not only starts recording, but also switches on the lighting and television via KNX and begins playing announcements (dog barking, voices etc.), e.g. using the Sonos sound system. There are no limits to your imagination. Discover deterrents on a whole new level.

Outwitting made difficult

Someone sabotages your camera by covering it or spraying it with paint. As soon as this happens, an alarm is triggered and you are notified. This enables you to actively intervene in the event as it unfolds, not after the saboteur has finished the job.

Door station with KNX

Don’t just integrate network-only cameras into the KNX – include your door stations from Axis Communications as well. Use the call button to play a ring tone using the KNX and Sonos sound system, for example.

Loudspeaker with KNX

Your loudspeakers from Axis Communications can be integrated into your KNX system as well, thus enabling the control of loudspeaker playback in your shop over KNX, for example.

+ POINTS

  • Perfect integration of Axis network devices into application scenarios
  • Stronger combination of both systems. Motion detector (KNX) starts the action or Cross Line Detection (camera) switches on the light
  • Private sphere (masking) can be controlled via KNX, for instance, through presence and absence
  • Camera responds directly to KNX/IP after successful installation
  • Third-party applications on the camera can also communicate with KNX
  • In addition to network cameras, all Axis network devices with ACAP are also supported

New firmware, new possibilities

Firmware version 2.3 for the SMART APP KNX Axis plug-in available!

Onward camera firmware version 5.60 please use the software for the SDK2.

Please note that when updating from version 1.0 to version 2.2 or to version 2.3, the action rules must also be revised. When updating from version 2.2 to version 2.3, no adjustment of the action rules is required.

If you want to upgrade from version 1.0 up to version 2.x, you will need a new license file. We are happy to exchange your current license for free, specifying the camera serial number and the license code for a current license. Please contact our sales department at sales@ise.de.

An update of the product database entry (KNXPROD) is REQUIRED when updating from version 1.0 up to 2.x with the new firmware.

 

New AXIS camera firmware

Compatibility up to firmware version 10.5.2

Due to a new AXIS camera firmware, there are currently compatibility issues with the SMART APP KNX Axis.
Please use firmware version 10.5.2 as the highest firmware.

Communication and Installation

The “SMART APP KNX Axis” plug-in is installed directly on a network device (e.g. network camera) based on an Axis ACAP (Axis Camera Application Platform). After successful installation, the Axis network device is a KNX/IP device and communicates with the world of KNX via KNX/IP routing. The plug-in is configured on the network device (event system) and in the ETS. KNX installations are usually implemented with two wires (TP), meaning that a KNX/IP router has to be present in this installation (often already present in KNX visualisation systems) to enable communication between KNX/IP and KNX/TP.

EAP installation package
If you are not sure which installation package you need, you can query the required processor type on your camera. Please replace <Camera IP> with the actual IP address of the camera.

Test version
You can also register the application as a 30-day test licence and download it from the Axis communications web page.
IMPORTANT! With the test version, communication with the KNX is cut off after 2 hours. Communication will only work again for 2 more hours after restarting the application.
