Convert Event Types to Action Rules

If the Axis product is upgraded to ﬁrmware version 5.40 or later, it is recommended to convert Event Types to Action Rules. The legacy user Event Types in the camera will continue to work but will not be visible in the user interface of the camera. The Event Types need to be converted to Action rules to become visible in the user interface.

To convert Event Types to Action Rules go to Events > Action Rules and click Convert.

Caution

This is not recommended when using a VMS based on the old Event Management System.

Setting Up an Action Rule

An action rule deﬁnes the conditions that must be met for the product to perform an action, for example record video or send email notiﬁcations. If multiple conditions are deﬁned, all must be met to trigger the action.

The following example describes how to set up an action rule to record video to a network share if there is movement in the camera’s ﬁeld of view.

1.Go to Detectors > Motion Detection and conﬁgure a motion detection window, see page 28

2.Go to System Options > Storage and set up the network share, see page 44.

Set up the action rule:

1.Go to Events > Action Rules and click Add.

2.Select Enable rule and enter a descriptive name for the rule.

3.Select Detectors from the Trigger drop-down list.

4.Select Motion Detection from the drop-down list. Select the motion detection window to use.

5.Optionally, select a Schedule and Additional conditions, see below.

6.Under Actions, select Record Video from the Type drop-down list.
