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 an email notification. If multiple conditions are defined, all of them 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.

Set up motion detection and add a network share:

1.Go to Detectors > Motion Detection and configure a motion detection window. See page 27

2.Go to System Options > Storage and set up the network share. See page 45.

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.

7.Select a Stream profile and configure the Duration settings as described below.

8.Select Network Share from the Storage drop-down list.

9.Optionally, select the Fallback action option to, for example, send an email notification if the recording does not start. See Fallback Action on page 33.

To add additional criteria, select the Additional conditions option and add additional triggers. To prevent an action from being triggered repeatedly, a Wait at least time can be set. Enter the time in hours, minutes and seconds, during which the trigger should be ignored before the action rule can be activated again.
