Set up rules for events
You can create rules to make your device perform an action when certain events occur. A rule consists of
conditions and actions. The conditions can be used to trigger the actions. For example, the device can start a
recording or send an email when it detects motion, or show an overlay text while the device is recording.

Trigger an action
1. Go to System > Events and add a rule. The rule defines when the device will perform certain actions.
You can set up rules as scheduled, recurring, or manually triggered.
2. Enter a Name.
3. Select the Condition that must be met to trigger the action. If you specify more than one condition for
the rule, all of the conditions must be met to trigger the action.
4. Select which Action the device should perform when the conditions are met.
Note
If you make changes to an active rule, the rule must be turned on again for the changes to take effect.
Note
If you change the definition of a stream profile that is used in a rule, then you need to restart all the rules
that use that stream profile.
Detect motion with the thermal channel and zoom in and record with the visual channel
In difficult lighting conditions the thermal channel can detect objects that the visual sensor can’t. This example
explains how to use the thermal channel to detect motion, and then use the visual channel to zoom in and
record. In the example, the camera monitors a gate.
Create a motion detection profile:
Note
If you run AXIS Motion Guard on both channels simultaneously, it can affect the frame rate and the general
performance. Therefore, we recommend you to remove all AXIS Motion Guard profiles on the visual channel.
1. Go to Apps and open AXIS Video Motion Detection.
2. Select Thermal.
3. Create a profile named Gate profile that covers the area of interest. Find out more in the user
manual for AXIS Motion Guard at axis.com/products/online-manual/.
Create the preset positions:
1. Go to PTZ > Preset positions.
Both channels share the same preset configurations.
