AXIS M3026-VE Fixed Dome Network Camera Events Events The Axis product can be configured to perform actions when different events occur, for example, start a recording when motion is detected. The set of conditions that defines how and when the action is triggered is called an Action Rule. Available Action Rule triggers and conditions include: • Applications - use installed applications to trigger the rule, see Applications on page 33. • Detectors - Day/Night Mode - trigger the rule when the product switches between day mode (IR cut filter on) and night mode (IR cut filter off). This can for example be used to control an external infrared (IR) light connected to an output port. - Live Stream Accessed - trigger the rule when any stream is accessed and during edge storage playback. This can for example be used to send notifications. - Motion Detection - trigger the rule when motion is detected, see Motion Detection on page 30. - Tampering - trigger the rule when tampering is detected, see Camera Tampering on page 30. • Hardware - Network - trigger the rule if network connection is lost or restored. This can for example be used to start recording to the SD card. • Input Signal - Digital Input Port - trigger the rule when an I/O port receives a signal from a connected device, see I/O Ports on page 49. - Manual Trigger - trigger the rule using the Manual Trigger button in the Live View page, see Controls on the Live View Page on page 10. This can for example be used to validate actions during product installation and configuration. - Virtual Inputs - can be used by a VMS (Video Management System) to trigger actions. Virtual inputs can, for example, be connected to buttons in the VMS user interface. • PTZ - Moving - trigger the rule when the camera view moves due to a PTZ operation. This can for example be used as an additional condition to prevent an action rule triggered by motion detection to record video while the camera view moves due to a PTZ operation. - Preset Reached - trigger the rule when the camera stops at a preset position. This can be for example be used with the Send Images action to upload images from the preset position. • Storage - Disruption - trigger the rule if storage problems are detected, for example if the storage device is unavailable, removed, full, locked or if other read or write problems occur. This can for example be used to send maintenance notifications. - Recording - triggers the rule when the Axis product records to the storage device. The recording status trigger can be used to notify the operator, for example by flashing LED lights, if the product has started or stopped to record to the storage device. Note that, this trigger can be used only for edge storage recording status. • System - System Ready - trigger the rule when the product has been started and all services are running. This can for example be used to send a notification when the product restarts. 35
