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 33.
•Detectors
-Live Stream Accessed — trigger the rule when any stream is accessed and during edge storage playback. This can for example be used to send notifications.
-Motion Detection — trigger the rule when motion is detected, see Motion Detection, on page 30.
-Enter/Exit — trigger the rule when an object has entered or exited the area, see Enter/Exit Detector, on page 32.
-Fence Detector — trigger the rule when an object has crossed a virtual line, see Fence Detector, on page 32
-Object Removed — trigger the rule when an object has been removed from a scene, see Object Removed, on page 31.
•Hardware
-Casing Open — trigger the rule if the casing of a connected external device, such as a junction box or cabinet (not included), is removed or opened. This can for example be used to send notifications of maintenance or unauthorized tampering.
-Fan — trigger the rule if the fan is malfunctioning. This can for example be used to send maintenance notifications.
-Heater — trigger the rule if the heater is malfunctioning. This can for example be used to send maintenance notifications.
-Network — trigger the rule if network connection is lost or restored. This can for example be used to start recording to the SD card.
-Temperature — trigger the rule if the temperature falls outside or inside the operating range of the product. This can for example be used to send maintenance notifications.
•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 10. This can for example be used to validate actions during product installation and configuration.
-Virtual Inputs — can be used by a VMS (Video Management System) to trigger actions. Virtual inputs can, for example, be connected to buttons in the VMS user interface.
•PTZ
-Autotracking — trigger the rule when autotracking starts or stops, see Autotracking, on page 26.
-Error — trigger the rule if the PTZ functionality is not working correctly. This can for example be used to send maintenance notifications.
-Moving — trigger the rule when the camera view moves due to a PTZ operation. This can for example be used as an additional condition to prevent an action rule triggered by motion detection to record video while the camera view moves due to a PTZ operation.
