Integrations

VMS alarms through the Axis event engine

LLD publishes stateless alarms through the Axis event engine. Your VMS must support Axis event-engine integration.

This path has been tested with Genetec, Milestone, AXIS Camera Station and Network Optix. Tested integration is not a certification claim or a guarantee of support in every VMS configuration.

MQTT for alarms and telemetry

Use the embedded MQTT broker to connect alarm and telemetry data to SCADA or another data platform. Choose standard JSON, Sparkplug B, or both to match the receiving system.

JSON and Sparkplug B use the same MQTT transport; they are payload options, not separate transport connections. A direct integration with Inductive Automation’s Ignition is documented on the Axis page.

An included guide covers converting the MQTT payload into Modbus or OPC UA. These are documented conversion paths, not native Modbus or OPC UA output from LLD.

HTTP webhooks for receiver-side workflows

Send alarms and optional snapshots to a webhook receiver. LLD delivers the webhook; the receiving service handles actions such as sending email or SMS, or archiving snapshots and alarm history in an FTP folder.

Plan the receiving workflow as well as the LLD connection. Configuring a webhook alone does not create an email, SMS or file-storage service.

Connect rain data where needed

Use a physical rain sensor connected to the camera’s I/O ports where available, or connect through an external I/O module such as an Advantech ADAM module.

A weather-service API is another option when the camera has internet access. Use weather data for the site’s coordinates to control the application’s rain function.
