Events
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.
Setting Up an Action Rule
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.
The following example describes how to set up an action rule to record video to a network share if there is movement in the
camera’s field of view.
Set up motion detection and add a network share:
1. Go to
Detectors > Motion Detection
and configure a motion detection window. See
2. Go to
System Options > Storage
and set up the network share. See

during which the trigger should be ignored before the action rule can be activated again.
The recording

of some actions can be set to include time immediately before and after the event. Select
