Click

to move to step 4 of the wizard.
6. On step 4 of the wizard, select stop criteria.
Stop criteria are important in many types of rules. Without a stop criterion, many actions could go on
indefinitely once started.
In this example
...Without a stop criterion, the rule in this example would make the PTZ camera start
patrolling according to the selected patrolling profile, but it would never stop. Based on the elements in our
rule description, we therefore must select a stop criterion. Since our rule is triggered when a time period
starts, the wizard automatically suggests that stop action is performed when the time period ends:
The suggestion is also reflected in the rule description. However, we still need to specify exactly which stop
action we want performed.
Click
Next
to move to the next step of the wizard.
7. In this step, the wizard suggests one or more stop actions based on the previously selected start actions.
In this example
...Based on the start action
start patrolling
in our rule description, the wizard automatically
suggests the stop action
stop patrolling
. It furthermore suggests that patrolling is stopped immediately when
the time period ends:
This is exactly what we want; we do not need to change it.
Your rule is by default active, meaning that once you have created it, it will be applied as soon as the rule's
conditions are met.
If you do not want the rule to be active straight away, clear the
Active
check box in the top part of the
Manage
Rule
window:
Tip
: You can always activate/deactivate the rule later.
8. Click
Finish
. This will add your new rule to the list of rules:
Creating the Second Rule; Patrolling During Night-time
Tip
: You do not have to create the second rule from scratch; you can make a copy of the first rule, then change it. To
copy a rule, select the rule in the
Rules
list, right-click, and select
Copy Rule
... This will open
Manage Rule
, which will
display an editable copy of the rule.
1. Copy the first rule, then make the following changes to the rule:
o
Change the rule name so it better describes the new rule, for example to
PTZ Camera Nighttime
Patrolling
.
o
On the time conditions selection step, select that the rule should apply not within but
outside
the time
profile.
o
In the rule description, click the link in the sentence
Start patrolling on ...
, and select a patrolling profile
matching your nighttime requirements rather than your daytime requirements.
2. Click
Finish
