Action Description
event or after a period of time.
Set Matrix to view
<devices> Makes video from the selected cameras appear on a computer capable of
displaying Matrix-triggered video such as a computer on which you have
installed either XProtect Smart Client or the Matrix Monitor application.
When you select this type of action, the Manage Rule wizard prompts you to
select a Matrix recipient, and one or more devices from which to display video
on the selected Matrix recipient.
This type of action allows you to select only a single Matrix recipient at a time.
If you want to make video from the selected devices appear on more than one
Matrix recipient, you should create a rule for each required Matrix recipient or
use the XProtect Smart Wall feature. By right-clicking a rule in the Rules list,
you can copy and re-use the content of rules. This way, you can avoid having
to create near-identical rules from scratch.
As part of the configuration on the Matrix recipients themselves, users must
specify the port number and password required for the Matrix communication.
Make sure that the users have access to this information. The users must
typically also define the IP addresses of allowed hosts from which commands
regarding display of Matrix-triggered video is accepted. In that case, the users
must also know the IP address of the management server, or any router or
firewall used.

of SNMP traps are auto-generated and cannot be customized. It can contain
the source type and name of the device on which the event occurred.
