Events
The Axis product can be configured to perform actions when different events occur, for example, start a recording when motion is
detected. The set of conditions that defines how and when the action is triggered is called an Action Rule. The action rule will apply
at specific periods called Schedules. It is possible to specify how often the action rule will recur. This is called Recurrences.
Available Action Rule triggers include:
Detectors, for example audio detection and motion detection
Hardware — if the temperature falls outside the operating range of the product
Input Signal — when the product's I/O port receives a signal from an external device, such as a smoke detector or switch
PTZ — when the product's pan/tilt/zoom controls are activated or when the view stops at a preset position
Storage — when a storage device is available, locked or full
System — when the product is started
Time, see Recurrences, on page 32
Possible actions include:
Day/Night Vision Mode
Output Port — activate an output to, for example, sound an alarm or lock a door
Play Audio Clip
PTZ Control
Record Video — record video and save to a selected storage
Send Images and Notifications — once recipients have been set up, a notification can be sent that an event has occurred

Setting up an Action Rule

An action rule defines the conditions that must be met for the product to perform an action, for example record video or send email
notifications. If multiple conditions are defined, all must be met to trigger the action.
The following example describes how to set up an action rule to send an email if there is movement in the product's field of view:
1. Go to Events > Action Rules and click Add.
2. Select the Enable rule option and enter a descriptive name for the rule.
3. Select Detectors from the Trigger drop-down list.
4. Select Motion Detection from the drop-down list.
5. Set one of the available pre-programmed time intervals from the Schedule drop-down list.
6. Select Send Notification from the Type drop-down list.
7. Select where to send the notification from the Recipient drop-down list.
To add additional criteria, select the Additional conditions option. Add and select the desired options as described above.
To copy, modify or remove an action rule, select the action rule in the Action Rule List and click Copy, Modify or Remove.
