Setting Up an Action Rule
An action rule denes the conditions that must be met for the product to perform an action, for example record video or send an
email notication. If multiple conditions are dened, all of them must be met to trigger the action.

camera’s eld of view.
Set up motion detection and add a network share:
1. Go to Detectors > Motion Detection and congure a motion detection window, see page 33
2. Go to System Options > Storage and set up the network share, see page 53.
Set up the action rule:
