Advanced

Scripting is a very powerful and advanced function that provides the possibility to use

custom scripts.

Caution!

Improper use may cause unexpected behavior or even cause loss of contact with the unit. If

a script does cause problems, reset the unit to its factory default settings. A backup file

may be of use to return the unit to its latest configuration.


Axis strongly recommends that you do not use this function unless you fully

understand the consequences. Note that Axis support does not provide assistance for

problems with customized scripts.
