Setting Up an Action Rule
An action rule denes the conditions that must be met for the product to perform an action, for example record video or send an
email notication. If multiple conditions are dened, all of them must be met to trigger the action.
The following example describes how to set up an action rule to record video to a network share if there is movement in the
camera’s eld of view.
Set up motion detection and add a network share:
1. Go to Detectors > Motion Detection and congure a motion detection window. See page 25
2. Go to System Options > Storage and set up the network share. See page 43.
Set up the action rule:
1. Go to Events > Action Rules and click Add.
2. Select Enable rule 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. Select the motion detection window to use.
5. Optionally, select a Schedule and Additional conditions. See below.
6. Under Actions, select Record Video from the Type drop-down list.
7. Select a Stream prole and congure the Duration settings as described below.
8. Select Network Share from the Storage drop-down list.
To add additional criteria, select the Additional conditions option and add additional triggers. 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.
The recording Duration of some actions can be set to include time immediately before and after the event. Select Pre-trigger time
and/or Post-trigger time and enter the number of seconds. When While the rule is active is enabled and the action is triggered
again during the post-trigger time, the recording time will be extended with another post-trigger time period.

Fallback Action
A fallback action is started if the primary action cannot be started, for example if connection to a recipient cannot be established.
Fallback actions are typically used to send email notications on failed actions or to upload images to a secondary recipient.
