AXIS Q17 Series
Additional settings
The Stream tab contains settings for video streams. You get these settings if you request a video stream from the product and don't
specify for example resolution, or frame rate. When you change the settings in the Stream tab, it doesn't affect ongoing streams, but
it will take effect when you start a new stream.
The Stream profiles settings override the settings from the Stream tab. If you request a stream with a specific stream profile, the
stream contains the settings of that profile. If you request a stream without specifying a stream profile, or request a stream profile
that doesn't exist in the product, the stream contains the settings from the Stream tab.

Events

Set up rules and alerts
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.
Trigger an action
1. Go to Settings > System > Events to set up a rule. The rule defines when the device will perform certain actions. Rules
can be setup as scheduled, recurring, or for example, triggered by motion detection.
2. Select the Condition that must be met to trigger the action. If you specify more than one condition for the rule, all of the
conditions must be met to trigger the action.
3. Select which Action the device should perform when the conditions are met.
Note
If you make changes to an active rule, you have to restart the rule for the changes to take effect.
Note
If you change the definition of a stream profile that is used in a rule, you have to to restart all the rules that use that
stream profile.
