Events
The Event pages allow you to configure the Axis product to perform actions when different events occur. For example, the product
can start a recording or send an email notification when motion is detected. The set of conditions that defines how and when
the action is triggered is called an action rule.
Set Up Action Rules
An action rule defines the conditions that must be met for the product to perform an action, for example record video or send an
email notification. If multiple conditions are defined, all of them must be met to trigger the action.
