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 34
2.Go to System Options > Storage and set up the network share. See page 54.
