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.
Trigger an action
1. Go to System > Events and add a rule. The rule defines when the device will perform certain actions. You can set
up rules as scheduled, recurring, or manually triggered.
2. Enter a Name.
3. 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.
4. Select which Action the device should perform when the conditions are met.
Note
If you make changes to an active rule, the rule must be turned on again for the changes to take effect.
