Default rule Description
Goto Preset when PTZ is done
Ensures that PTZ cameras go to their respective default preset
positions after you have operated them manually. This rule is not
enabled by default.
Even when you have enabled the rule, you must have defined
default preset positions for the relevant PTZ cameras in order for
the rule to work. You do this on the Presets tab.
Record on Bookmark
Ensures that video is recorded automatically when an operator sets
a bookmark in XProtect Smart Client. This is provided you have
enabled recording for the relevant cameras. Recording is enabled
by default.
The default recording time for this rule is three seconds before the
bookmark is set and 30 seconds after the bookmark is set. You can
edit the default recording times in the rule. Note that the pre-buffer
which you set on the Record Tab must match or be longer than the
pre-recording time.
Record on Motion
Ensures that as long as motion is detected in video from cameras,
the video is recorded, provided recording is enabled for the relevant
cameras. Recording is by default enabled.
While the default rule specifies recording based on detected motion,
it does not guarantee that the system records video, as you may
have disabled individual cameras' recording for one or more
cameras. Even when you have enabled recording, remember that
the quality of recordings may be affected by individual camera's
recording settings.
Record on Request
Ensures that video is recorded automatically when an external
request occurs, provided recording is enabled for the relevant
cameras. Recording is enabled by default.
The request is always triggered by a system integrating externally
with your system, and the rule is primarily used by integrators of
external systems or plug-ins.
Start Audio Feed
Ensures that audio feeds from all connected microphones and
speakers are automatically fed to the system.
While the default rule enables access to connected microphones'
and speakers' audio feeds immediately upon installing the system,
it does not guarantee that audio is recorded, as you must specify
recording settings separately.
Start Feed
Ensures that video feeds from all connected cameras are
automatically fed to the system.
While the default rule enables access to connected cameras' video
feeds immediately upon installing the system, it does not guarantee
that video is recorded, as cameras' recording settings must be
specified separately.
