Set up rules and alerts
You can create rules to make your device perform an action when certain events occur. A rule consists of conditions and actions.
The conditions can be used to trigger the actions. For example, the device can start a recording or send an email when it detects
motion, or show an overlay text when it records.
Trigger an action
1. Go to
Settings > System > Events
to set up a rule. The rule defines when the camera will perform certain actions. Rules
can be setup as scheduled, recurring, or for example, triggered by motion detection.
2. Select the
Condition
that must be met to trigger the action. If you specify more than one condition for the rule, all of the
conditions must be met to trigger the action.
3. Select which
Action
the camera should perform when the conditions are met.
Note
If you make changes to an active rule, then the rule needs to be restarted for the changes to take effect.
Note
If you change the definition of a stream profile that is used in a rule, then you need to restart all the rules that use that
stream profile.
