When you have selected the required event, clicking
the
devices/recording server/management server
link lets you specify the devices on which the event
should occur in order for the rule to apply. Depending on your event specification, you may be able to
select from a list of cameras, inputs, outputs, etc. In this example illustration, the selectable devices are
all cameras:
You specify the required devices by moving them from the
Available devices
list to the
Selected devices
list.
To move a device from the
Available devices
list to the
Selected devices
list, either select the device and
click the
Add
button, double-click the device, or simply drag the device from one list to the other.
Tip:
When devices are grouped into so-called device groups, you can quickly move all devices in a group
simply by moving the group folder.
When the required devices are listed in the
Selected devices
list, click
OK
.
You have now specified the exact content of the first part of the rule description.
Perform an action in a time interval
If you select a time-based rule, no more information is required on the wizard's first step.
4. Click
Next
to go to the wizard's second step. On the wizard's second step you are able to define further
conditions for the rule.

:
Depending on your selections, the lower part of the wizard window lets you edit the rule description.
Click the underlined items in
bold italics
to specify their exact content. For example, clicking the
days
link in
our example would let you select one or more days of the week on which the rule should apply.
6. Having specified your exact conditions, click
Next
to move to the next step of the wizard and select which
actions should be covered by the rule.
Depending on the content and complexity of your rule, further wizard steps may let you define further
information, such as stop events and stop actions. For example, if a rule specifies that a device should
perform a particular action during a time interval (for example Thursday between 08.00 and 10.30), the
wizard may ask you to specify what should happen when that time interval ends.
7. 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.
Tip:
You can always activate/deactivate the rule later.
8. Click
Finish
