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
- Audio Detection — trigger the rule when audio is detected, see Audio Detection, on page 34.
- 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 33.
• Hardware
- Fan — trigger the rule if the fan 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.
