Setting up an Action Rule
An action rule defines the conditio ns that must be met for the p roduct to perform an action, for example record video or send email
notifications. If multiple conditions are defined, all must be met to tr
igger the action.
The following example describes how to set up an action rule to
send an email if there is movement in the prod uct’s field of view:
1. Go to Events > Action Rules and click Add.
2. Select the Enable rule option and e
nter a descriptive name for the rule.
3. Select Detectors from the Tr
igger drop-d own list.
4. Select Motion Detecti
on from the drop-down list.
5. Set one of the ava
ilable pre-programmed time intervals fr om the Schedule drop-down list.
6. Select S
end Notification from the Type drop-down list.
7. Sel
ect where to send the notification from the Recipient drop-down list.
To add additiona l criteria, select the Additional conditions option. Add and select the desired options as described above. To prevent
an action from being triggered repeatedly, a Wait at least time can be set. Enter the time in hours, minutes and seconds, during
which the trigger should be ignored before the action rule can be activated again.
To copy, mod ify or remove an action rule, select the action rule in the Action Rule List and click Copy, Modify or Remove.
The recording Duration of some actions can be set to include time immediately before and after the event. Select Pre-trigger time

again during the post-trigger time, the recording time will be extended with another post-trigger time period.
