Set up rules for events

You can create rules to make your device perform an action when certain events occur. A rule consists of conditions and actions.
The conditions can be used to trigger the actions. For example, the device can start a recording or send an email when it detects
motion, or show an overlay text while the device is recording.
To learn more, check out our guide Get started with rules for events.
