2. Choose the port and the trigger’s state to activate an event from the drop-down lists. In this example, the door
switch is connected to the input port of the camera viewing the Garage backdoor. The event should be triggered
when the door is opened.
Note: The contents of the drop-down lists depend on how the port was defined under Configuration > I/O Settings.
See Add Inputs and Outputs, on page 29 for more information.
3. Since the trigger can go off many times and create unwanted events, an option is to set the Trigger period slider
so that any triggers that come in under this period will be treated as one trigger.
4. Click OK to save the trigger settings.
At this point more triggers can be added or you can go back and edit or remove this trigger with the buttons on the
right-hand side of the Rules dialog. When using several triggers, only one of the triggers needs to become active to initiate an
action.

be created.

click Change to enter a new profile. See Configure media
profile settings, on page 29 for more information.
5. With the slidebars select the number of seconds to include
before the trigger (Prebuffer) and after the trigger stops
(Postbuffer).
