Define rules sending video to Matrix recipients
To send video to Matrix recipients you must include the Matrix recipient in a rule that triggers the video
transmission to the related Matrix recipient. To do so:
1. In the Site Navigation pane, Expand Rules and Events > Rules. Right-click Rules to open
the Manage Rule wizard. In the first step, select a rule type and in the second step, a
condition.
2. In Manage Rule's step 3 (Step 3: Actions) select the Set Matrix to view <devices> action.
3. Click the Matrix link in the initial rule description.
4. In the Select Matrix Configuration dialog box, select the relevant Matrix-recipient, and click
OK.
5. Click the devices link in the initial rule description, and select from which cameras you would
like to send video to the Matrix-recipient, then click OK to confirm your selection.
6. Click Finish if the rule is complete or define if required additional actions and/or a stop action.
If you delete a Matrix-recipient, any rule that includes the Matrix-recipient stops working.
Send the same video to several XProtect Smart Client views
If the Matrix-recipient is XProtect Smart Client, you can send the same video to Matrix positions in
several of XProtect Smart Client’s views, provided the views' Matrix positions share the same port
number and password:
1. In XProtect Smart Client, create the relevant views and Matrix positions that share the same
port number and password.
2. In the Management Client, add the relevant XProtect Smart Client as a Matrix-recipient.
3. You may include the Matrix-recipient in a rule.
