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 32
2. Go to
System Options > Storage
and set up the network share. See
page 49
.
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

, select
Record Video
from the
Type
drop-down list.
7. Select a
Stream profile
and configure the

should be ignored before the action rule can be activated again.
