Events

Note that, this trigger can be used only for edge storage recording status.
•System
-System Ready – Trigger the rule when the product has been started and all services are running. This can for example be used to send a notification when the product restarts.
•Time
-Recurrence – Trigger the rule periodically. See Recurrences on page 44. This can for example be used to upload an image every 5 minutes.
-Use Schedule – Trigger the rule according to the selected schedule. See Schedules on page 43.

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.
NOTICE
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 an email notification. If multiple conditions are defined, all of them must be met to trigger the action.
