AXIS Q1700-LE License Plate Camera
Setup
Trigger an action
1. Go to Settings > System > Events to set up an action rule. The action rule defines when the camera will perform certain
actions. Action rules can be setup as scheduled, recurring, or for example, triggered by motion detection.
2. Select what Trigger must be met to trigger the action. If you specify more than one trigger for the action rule, all
of them must be met to trigger the action.
3. Select which Action the camera should perform when the conditions are met.
Note
If you make changes to an active action rule, the action rule needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect.
Note
If you change the definition of a stream profile that is used in a rule, then you need to restart all the rules that use that
stream profile.
Record video when the camera detects motion
This example explains how to set up the camera to start recording to the SD card five seconds before it detects motion and to
stop one minute after.
Make sure the AXIS Video Motion Detection application is running:
1. Go to Settings > Apps > AXIS Video Motion Detection.
2. Start the application if it is not already running.
3. Make sure you have set up the application according to your needs.
Create an action rule:
1. Go to Settings > System > Events and add an action rule.

3. From the list of triggers, select Applications and then select AXIS Video Motion Detection (VMD).
4. From the list of actions, select Record video.
5. Select an existing stream profile or create a new one.
6. Enable and set the pre-trigger time to 5 seconds.
7. Enable While the rule is active.
8. Enable and set the post-trigger time to 60 seconds.
9. Select SD card from the list of storage options.
10. Click Ok.
Record video when the camera detects impact
Shock detection allows the camera to detect tampering caused by vibrations or shock. Vibrations due to the environment or to an
object can trigger an action depending on the shock sensitivity range, which can be set from 0 to 100. In this scenario, someone is
throwing rocks at the camera after hours and you would like to get a video clip of the event.
1. Go to Settings > System > Detectors.
2. Set shock detection to on, and set a value for the shock sensitivity.
