Summary:

This article outlines the exceptions to the [Event Action] functionality in network cameras. While the [Event Action] function triggers specific actions when an event occurs, some [Actions] cannot operate simultaneously, whereas others can.

[Actions] That Cannot Operate Simultaneously:

• Alarm Output
• Audio Clip
• Handover
• Alarm Light
• Monitor Alert
  PTZ Action (Go to Preset, Auto Tracking)

When multiple event rules include these actions, only the [Action] from the highest-priority rule will operate. The others will be skipped.

[Actions] That Can Operate Simultaneously:

• FTP
• E-mail
• Record
• MQTT

These [Actions] can execute concurrently, even if triggered by different rules.

Example of Situation:

• Case 1

  • Rule Setting

    • Rule #1 : Event action (Alarm out, E-mail, Auto tracking)
    • Rule #2 : Event action (E-mail, Handover, Auto tracking)
    • Rule #3 : Event action (Alarm out, Handover, Go to preset)

  • Executed Actions:

    • Alarm Output (Rule #1)
    • E-mail (Rules #1, #2)
    • Auto Tracking (Rule #1)
    • Handover (Rule #2)

  • Skipped Actions (Not Executed):

    • Auto Tracking (Rule #2)
    • Alarm Output (Rule #3)
    • Handover (Rule #3)
    • Go to Preset (Rule #3)

  • Explanation:

    • Auto Tracking (Rule #2): Skipped because Auto Tracking from Rule #1 is already active (PTZ actions cannot run simultaneously).
    • Alarm Output (Rule #3): Skipped because Alarm Output from Rule #1 is already active.
    • Handover (Rule #3): Skipped because Handover from Rule #2 is already active.
    • Go to Preset (Rule #3): Skipped because Auto Tracking from Rule #1 is already active (PTZ actions cannot run simultaneously).

• Case 2

  • Rule Setting

    • Rule #1 : Event action (FTP, Handover, MQTT)
    • Rule #2 : Event action (FTP, Handover, MQTT)
    • Rule #3 : Event action (E-mail, Handover)

  • Executed Actions:

    • FTP (Rules #1, #2)
    • Handover (Rule #1)
    • MQTT (Rules #1, #2)
    • Handover (Rules #2, #3)

  • Skipped Actions (Not Executed):

    • E-mail (Rule #3)

  • Explanation:

    • Handover (Rules #2, #3): Skipped because Handover from Rule #1 is already active (Handover actions cannot run simultaneously).
