About events
The event pages allow you to configure your product to perform actions when different events occur. For example,
the product can start a recording or send an email notification when a motion is detected. The set of conditions that
defines how and when the action is triggered is called an action rule.

This example explains how to connect an Axis PIR detector to the camera, and set up the camera to start recording
when the detector senses motion. Required hardware
3wire cable (ground, power, I/O)
Axis PIR detector
NOTICE
Disconnect the camera from power before connecting the wires. Reconnect to power after all connections are done.
Connect the wires to the camera’s I/O connector
Note
For information on the I/O connector, see Connectors on page 19
1. Connect the ground wire to pin 1 (GND/-).
2. Connect the power wire to pin 2 (12V DC output).
3. Connect the I/O wire to pin 3 (I/O input).
Connect the wires to the PIR detector’s I/O connector
1. Connect the other end of the ground wire to pin 1 (GND/-).
2. Connect the other end of the power wire to pin 2 (DC input/+).
3. Connect the other end of the I/O wire to pin 3 (I/O output).
Configure the I/O port in the camera’s web page
1. Go to Settings > System > I/O ports.
2. Select Input in the Port 1 drop-down list.
3. Give the input module a descriptive name.
