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.
Available action rule triggers and conditions include:
• Applications – Use installed applications to trigger the rule. See Applications, on page 36.
• Detectors
- Live Stream Accessed – Trigger the rule when any stream is accessed and during edge storage playback.
This can for example be used to send notifications.
- Motion Detection – Trigger the rule when motion is detected. See Motion Detection, on page 34.
- Shock Detected – Trigger the rule when the Axis product detects it has been tilted or hit. See Shock Detection,
on page 34.
• Hardware
- Heater – Trigger the rule if the heater is malfunctioning. This can for example be used to send maintenance
notifications.
- Network – Trigger the rule if network connection is lost or restored. This can for example be used to start
recording to the SD card.
- Temperature – Trigger the rule if the temperature falls outside or inside the operating range of the product. This
can for example be used to send maintenance notifications.
• Input Signal
- Digital Input Port – Trigger the rule when an I/O port receives a signal from a connected device. SeeI/O Ports,
on page 54.
- Manual Trigger – Trigger the rule using the Manual Trigger button in the Live View page. SeeControls on
the Live View Page, on page 13. This can for example be used to validate actions during product installation
and configuration.
- Virtual Inputs – can be used by a VMS (Video Management System) to trigger actions. Virtual inputs can, for
example, be connected to buttons in the VMS user interface.
• PTZ
- Autotracking – Trigger the rule when autotracking starts or stops. SeeAutotracking, on page 30.
Error – Trigger the rule if the PTZ functionality is not working correctly. This can for example be used to
-
send maintenance notifications.
Moving – Trigger the rule when the camera view moves due to a PTZ operation. This can for example be used
-
as an additional condition to prevent an action rule triggered by motion detection to record video while the
camera view moves due to a PTZ operation.
- Preset Reached – Trigger the rule when the camera stops at a preset position. This can be for example be used
with the Send Images action to upload images from the preset position.
