Explanation

Very Simple Time-Based Rule

On Mondays between 08.30 and 11.30 (time condition), Camera 1

and Camera 2 should start recording (action) when the time period

begins and stop recording (stop action) when the time period ends.

Very Simple Event-Based Rule

When motion is detected (event condition) on Camera 1, Camera 1

should start recording (action) immediately, then stop recording

(stop action) after 10 seconds.

Even if an event-based rule is activated by an event on one device,

you can specify that actions should take place on one or more other

devices.

Rule Involving Several

Devices

When motion is detected (event condition) on Camera 1, Camera 2

should start recording (action) immediately, and the siren connected

to Output 3 should sound (action) immediately. Then, after 60

seconds, Camera 2 should stop recording (stop action), and the

siren connected to Output 3 should stop sounding (stop action).

Rule Combining Time, Events,

and Devices

When motion is detected (event condition) on Camera 1, and the

day of the week is Saturday or Sunday (time condition), Camera 1

and Camera 2 should start recording (action) immediately, and a

notification should be sent to the security manager (action). Then, 5

seconds after motion is no longer detected on Camera 1 or Camera

2, the 2 cameras should stop recording (stop action).

Depending on your organization's needs, it is often a good idea to create many simple rules rather

than a few complex rules. Even if it means you have more rules in your system, it provides an easy

way to maintain an overview of what your rules do. Keeping your rules simple also means that you

have much more flexibility when it comes to deactivating/activating individual rule elements. With

simple rules, you can deactivate/activate entire rules when required.

Add a rule

When you create rules, you are guided by the wizard Manage Rule which only lists relevant options.

It ensures that a rule does not contain missing elements. Based on your rule's content, it automatically

suggests suitable stop actions, that is what should take place when the rule no longer applies,

ensuring that you do not unintentionally create a never-ending rule.

1. Right-click the Rules item > Add Rule.This opens the Manage Rule wizard. The wizard

guides you through the process of specifying the content of your rule. The wizard asks you to

specify your exact requirements for the rule.

2. Specifying a name and a description of the new rule in the Name and Description fields

respectively.

3. Select the relevant type of condition for the rule: either a rule which performs one or more

actions when a particular event occurs, or a rule which performs one or more actions when you

enter a specific period of time.

4. Click Next to go to the wizard's second step. On the wizard's second step, define further

conditions for the rule.
