You might have to reload the Door Controller under “Devices” > “Management” if you changed
any configuration, such as adding doors, after adding the AXIS A1001 to AXIS Camera Station.
Do this by selecting your Door Controller and clicking on the Reload button in the top menu.
This will communicate the latest changes to AXIS Camera Station.
Receive notification when the door status changes
Go to the Configuration tab and under the “Recording and events” area select “Action rules”
In the “Triggers” step you click on “Add”
If you successfully added the AXIS A1001 in step 1, there is a trigger available for “Access
Control Event”, where you can select an event for “Door accessed”, “Door forced open”,
”Door open too long” or “Access denied”.
Go to the next step (Actions) and select “Raise Alarm” action. Add a title of choice.
A notification box will be shown on the right bottom corner of the main screen on AXIS Camera
Station client whenever the trigger previously selected, is currently active.

Give proper user permissions to different operators
It’s recommended to set up different user permissions for different users, e.g. maybe not
everyone who has access to AXIS Camera Station should have the right to control the door or
change the configurations. Skip this step if the current setup already suits the need.
Go to the Configuration tab, go to the Security Area and select “User permissions”.
Click on “Add” in case it is a new permission or “Edit” if the user or user group is already in AXIS
Camera Station.
In the “Add User/Group” Dialogue, select the current user or group to edit, and click on “Add”
In the next dialogue, give the user you would like to restrict, an operator or viewer role.
In the bottom part, provide them only access to the cameras and views you would like them to
access. If a user has access to a camera with control button, the user can click the button.
(Under “Views” also the AXIS A1001 webpage can be found, if you followed the second chapter)
