Monitor IP device tracking on Cisco switch

[DAVID]

I have configured IP device tracking on a Cisco switch but is there any way to be alerted  with Cisco Prime whenever a port becomes inactive?

I have axis cameras connected to switch ports and I need to know whenever a camera is not available 

The 2960c switch does not support EEM or snmp traps for ip device tracking

IP Device Tracking, in classic IOS, is like ARP:  It matches the MAC address to an IP address in a Layer 2 environment.  That's all it does. 

To ping-n-poll anything else, use a vendor agnostic NMS server to detect if something has fallen off the network.   We are use AKiPS to ping-n-poll anything with an IP address.

I thought about setting up an EEM or TCL script to run on the router to ping the devices every xx seconds and setup some sort of threshold where the EEM would email if a device fails to respond to icmp within a specified time to send out and email

Is this Axis camera in a private residence?

Exactly, how many of this Axis cameras are we talking about?

Personally, it would be easier (and cheaper) to get a Raspberry Pi and script it.  A NUC, with Linux OS & located centrally, is not a bad option either.
