Action Description
Without this stop action, recording would potentially continue indefinitely. You
also have the option of specifying further stop actions.
Start feed on
<devices> Begin data feed from devices to the system. When the feed from a device is
started, data is transferred from the device to the system, in which case you
may view and record, depending on the data type.
When you select this type of action, the Manage Rule wizard prompts you to
specify on which devices to start the feeds. Your system includes a default
rule which ensures that feeds are always started on all cameras.
Stop action required: This type of action requires one or more stop actions.
In one of the following steps, the wizard automatically prompts you to specify
the stop action: Stop feed.
You can also specify further stop actions.
Note that using the mandatory stop action Stop feed to stop the feed from a
device means that data is no longer transferred from the device to the system,
in which case live viewing and recording of video, for example, is no longer
possible. However, a device on which you have stopped the feed can still
communicate with the recording server, and you can start the feed again
automatically through a rule, as opposed to when you manually have disabled
the device.
Important: While this type of action enables access to selected devices' data
feeds, it does not guarantee that data is recorded, as you must specify
recording settings separately.
Set <Smart Wall> to
<preset> Sets the XProtect Smart Wall to a selected preset. Specify the preset on the
Smart Wall Presets tab.
No mandatory stop action: This type of action does not require a stop
action. You can specify optional stop actions to be performed on either an
event or after a period of time.
Set <Smart Wall>
<monitor> to show
<cameras > Sets a specific XProtect Smart Wall monitor to display live video from the
selected cameras on this site or any child site configured in Milestone
Federated Architecture.
No mandatory stop action: This type of action does not require a stop
action. You can specify optional stop actions to be performed on either an
event or after a period of time.
