Action Rule
In Action Rule, you can manage a variety of action rules that automate different surveillance functions and reduce the manual workload needed to perform surveillance. There are many applications for action rules such as instructing a camera to patrol between different user defined preset positions, providing status on surveillance system components (e.g., lost camera connection or tampering was detected), and much more. Action rules can be triggered or scheduled. Please note that only users belonging to the administrators group can use this application.
