Events
The Axis product can be configured to perform actions whe n different events occur, for example, start a recording whe n motion is
detected. The set of conditions that defines how and when the action is triggered is called an Action Rule. The action rule will apply
at specific periods called Schedules. It is possible to specify how often the action rule will recur. This is called Recurrences.
Available Action Rule triggers include:
• Detectors, for example audio detection and motion detection, see Detectors, on page 26
• Input Signal — when the product’s I/O port receives a signal from an external device, such as a smoke detector or switch
• PTZ — when the product’s pan/tilt/z oom controls are activated or when the view stops at a preset position
• Storage — when a storage device is available, locked or full
• System — when the product is started
•Time,seeRecurrences, on page 31
Possible actions include:
• Output Port — activate an output to, for example, sound an alarm or lock a door
• Play Audio Clip
• Record Video — record video and save to a selected storage
•SendImagesandNotificatio ns — once recipients have been set up, a notifi cation can be sent that an event has occurred
•StatusLED
Convert Event Types to Action Rules
The internal Event M anagement system has been redesigned from firmw are ve rsion 5.40. The legacy user Event Types in the
camera will continue to work but will not be visible in
the user interface of the camera. The Event Types need to be converted to
Action rules to become visible in the user interface.
To convert Event Types to Action Rules go to Events > Action Rules and click Convert.
Caution
This is not recommended w
hen using a VMS based on the old Event Management System.
Setting Up an Action Rule
An action rule defines the conditions that m ust be met for the product to perform an action, for example record v ideo or send email
notifications. If multiple conditions are de fined, all must be met to trigger the action.
The following example describes how to set up an action rule to send an email if there is movement in the product’s field of view:

2. Select the Enable rule option and enter a descriptive name for the rule.
3. Select Detectors from the Trigger drop-down list.
4. Select Motion Detection from the drop-down list. This option is only available if a motion de tection window has been
configured, see page 27.
5. Set one of the available pre-programmed time intervals from the Schedule drop-down list.
