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 record video to a network share if there is movement in the
camera's field of view.
