Events
The Event pages allow you to configure the Axis product to perform actions when different events occur. For example, the product
can start a recording or send an email notification when motion is detected. The set of conditions that defines how and when
the action is triggered is called an action rule.

Set Up Action Rules

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.
For more information about available triggers and actions, see Triggers on page 31 and Actions on page 32.
To use more than one trigger for the action rule, select Additional conditions and click Add to add additional triggers. When using
additional conditions, all conditions must be met to trigger the action.
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.
The recording Duration of some actions can be set to include time immediately before and after the event. Select Pre-trigger time
and/or Post-trigger time and enter the number of seconds. When While the rule is active is enabled and the action is triggered
again during the post-trigger time, the recording time will be extended with another post-trigger time period.

Triggers
Available action rule triggers and conditions include:
• Applications – Use installed applications to trigger the rule. See Applications on page 24.
• 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.
- Tampering – Trigger the rule when tampering is detected. See Camera Tampering on page 23.
- Video source connected – Trigger the rule when a sensor unit is connected to or disconnected from the main unit.
• Hardware
- Network – Trigger the rule if network connection is lost or restored. This can for example be used to start
recording to the SD card.
• 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 11 . 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.
• Storage
- Disruption – Trigger the rule if storage problems are detected, for example if the storage device is unavailable,
removed, full, locked or if other read or write problems occur. This can for example be used to send maintenance
notifications.
