Events
Set up rules and alerts
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
Settings > System > Events
to set up an action rule. The action rule defines when the device will perform certain
actions. Action rules can be setup as scheduled, recurring, or for example, triggered by motion detection.
2. Select what
Trigger
must be met to trigger the action. If you specify more than one trigger for the action rule, all
of them must be met to trigger the action.

Action
the device should perform when the conditions are met.
Note
If you make changes to an active action rule, you have to restart the action rule for the changes to take effect.
