First step is to configure the camera that will be sending the commands to the AXIS D4100-E
1. Go to the camera web GUI (the description is for AXIS Device Assistant, new web interface)
2. Go to Events and add Recipient
3. Name the recipient and choose HTTP as the Type and add this command in the URL:
http://IPaddress/axis-cgi/siren_and_light.cgi
4. Add the username and password for the user on AXIS D4100-E

Two action rules are needed for this setup, the first action rule is to start the trigger and the second to
stop it.

When you are done making the two profiles, you can now start and stop the Strobe siren by selecting the
configured camera in AXIS Companion, right click in the image and select Custom actions.
Note. AXIS Companion needs to be restarted for the Custom action to show up
Depending on your network setup, you might need to set the devices (AXIS D4100-E and the camera) to
use a static IP. This is to prevent devices from changing their IP addresses.
