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 an
email notification. If multiple conditions are defined, all of them 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.
Set up motion detection and add a network share:
1. Go to Detectors > Motion Detection and configure a motion detection window. See page 38
2. Go to System Options > Storage and set up the network share. See page 57.
Set up the action rule:
1. Go to Events > Action Rules and click Add.
2. Select Enable rule 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. Select the motion detection window to use.
