17 Rule Administration
NETAVIS Observer 4.6 introduced Rule Administration which enables the simple configuration of a
range of actions which are triggered by specific events. For example the permanent recording of
cameras can be started once an alarm system is activated or a barrier can be opened upon the
detection of certain number plates. The rule administration is an extensible system which will
continue to cover more scenarios in the future.
Note
: Actions triggered by I/O devices configured in versions prior to NETAVIS Observer 4.6 via the XML
configuration file will continue to work in NETAVIS Observer 4.6. However if you want to use Rule
Administration you will need to remove the previous XML configuration, reconfigure the I/O device in
the I/O Device Administration, and then add the corresponding actions via Rule Administration
(described in this chapter).
