Configuring the Event Receiver API (Access Control)
The Event Receiver API (Access Control) is an API that allows a third party to send access control events to OpenEye Web Services in order to leverage OpenEye alerting and video resources.
Enabling and Configuring the Event Receiver API (Access Control)
Follow the instructions in OWS Access Keys and select the Access API option.
Mapping Access Control Types to Cameras
After configuring your Access Control system to send events to OpenEye Web Services according to the OpenEye Web Services Event API document, your Access Control system will connect to OpenEye Web Service and add any attached readers, sensors, panels, keypads, or locations. If these are not automatically populated, contact your Access Control company.
- Open Manage Integrations > Event Receiver API (Access Control).
- Select Readers / Camera Mapping.
- Click the Down arrow next to the Reader you would like to map to a camera to expand the selection.
- Click Add Camera and select the camera you would like to show up in alerts that are generated by this Reader.
NOTE: If multiple cameras are selected in the previous step, only the camera that is set as Primary will appear in alerts.
- Repeat the process for all readers.
- Repeat this process for all Sensors, Panels, Keypads, and/or Locations.
NOTE: Your Access Control system may not have all of these options. Consult your Access Control manufacturer for more information on what options are available.
