Events
The Axis product can be configured to perform actions when different events occur, for example, start a recording when motion is detected. The set of conditions that defines how and when the action is triggered is called an Action Rule.
Available action rule triggers and conditions include:
•Applications – Use installed applications to trigger the rule. See Applications, on page 32.
•Detectors
-Day/Night Mode – Trigger the rule when the product switches between day mode (IR cut filter on) and night mode (IR cut filter off). This can for example be used to control an external infrared (IR) light connected to an output port.
-Motion Detection – Trigger the rule when motion is detected. See Motion Detection, on page 29.
-Tampering – Trigger the rule when tampering is detected. See Camera Tampering, on page 29.

•Input Signal
-Manual Trigger – Trigger the rule using the Manual Trigger button in the Live View page. See Controls on the Live View Page, on page 9 . This can for example be used to validate actions during product installation and configuration.
•PTZ
•Storage
-Available – Trigger the rule when the storage device is unmounted or removed. This can for example be used to send maintenance notifications.
