Start conditions are events in the system that trigger run a macro start. When you create event macros, you can select one or more start conditions.

If you specify several conditions, a macro can start when any of the specified conditions are met. In addition, macro events can start when specified statistical conditions are met (see Starting the Event rules macros based on statistical data).

The table shows the examples of start conditions to trigger run a macro:

When you select an event from an Axxon-domain, a macro starts when this event is received from any object in the Axxon-domain

It is necessary to You can set a threshold for these type of events—the time in seconds (0 to 3600) between switching the Signal lost and the Signal restored states. For example, if a 10-second threshold is set for the Signal lost condition, then at least 10 seconds must pass between the last Signal restored event and the new Signal lost event to start the macro

Triggering start


Note
titleAttention!

If the Triggering start event is set in the macro start conditions, then after any changes and settings saved during when the detector 's triggering generates an event (if there is no the Triggering end event), all actions in the macro are executed again.

The same logic is applied when you create a macro. If you are creating a macro, and the detector is generating an event, the macro is run immediately after the creation is complete.

Triggering end
Preset change

For these events, you must specify the preset number and the reason for the action:

  1. Error.
  2. Entered: the action occurs if you select a preset (see Creating and editing presets) with the selected number while controlling a camera (see Controlling a PTZ сamera).
  3. Manual: the action occurs if you manually change the position of a camera with a selected preset (see Control using step buttons and virtual joystick)
ArchiveArchive partition error

When you select an event from an archive, a macro starts when this event is received from any archive or a specific archive

When you select an event from a time schedule, a macro starts when this event is received from a specific time schedule

When you select an event from a server, a macro starts when this event is received from a specific server

Event source

Specify event text

You must specify a word or phrase. When it comes up in the captions, the macro starts.

For example, this filter starts the macro when the word "Water" appears in the captions.

If you want to start a macro when several words or values appear at once, use curly braces for logical "AND". For example, {Water} {Belgium} {River}

You can select events from detectors as start conditions for a macro. For example, you can configure a macro that triggers starts when smoke is detected in a room by a smoke detector and initiates an alarm. If you select an event from a detector, a macro triggers starts when this event is received. The table shows examples of detector events:
