priority:
Clicking the
priority
link lets you specify the priority (see "Actions and Stop Actions Overview" on
page 110) of the camera position.
In this example
...the wizard's suggestion
immediately
suits us fine, so we simply leave it as it is.
The rule description now indicates which camera will pause patrolling, which preset position it will move to,
and how soon:

to move to step 4 of the wizard.
7. 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 camera pause patrolling,
then move to the preset position and remain there indefinitely. Based on the elements in our rule description,
we therefore
must
select a stop criterion.
Since our rule is triggered by an event, the wizard automatically suggests that we base our stop action on an
event as well. In the rule description, the wizard even suggests that the stop action is performed when input is
deactivated on the back door sensor. However, we want something different, so we select
Perform stop
action after <time>
:
In the rule description, the wizard now prompts us to specify the required time.
We click the
time
link, specify 15 seconds, and click
OK
:
The rule description now indicates the 15 seconds selected.
Based on the start action
pause patrolling
in our rule description, the wizard automatically suggests the stop
action
resume patrolling
. It furthermore suggests that patrolling is resumed immediately after the 15 second
pause:
This is exactly what we want; we do not need to change it, although by clicking the
immediately
link we could
have specified a delay of e.g. 3 seconds.
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:
Default Rules
OnSSI RC-E comes with a number of default rules, ensuring that basic features work without any user intervention
being required.
IMPORTANT:
Like other rules, default rules can be deactivated and/or modified as required. The fact that default
rules are present does therefore not in itself guarantee that your RC-E system will work. Nor does it guarantee that
video feeds or audio feeds will automatically be fed to the RC-E system, as the default rules may subsequently have
been deactivated or modified.
Default Start Feed Rule
Ensures that video feeds from all connected cameras are automatically fed to the RC-E system.
