This action checks recorded video from a specific camera or group of cameras for the specified period. 

To configure this action, do as follows:

  1. Select a camera or a group of cameras to verify their video footage (1).

    If the start of the macro was triggered by the activation of input or output (see Configuring filters for event-driven macros) that is not connected to any camera, you need to select a specific camera here. If you select a group of cameras or a camera that triggered the command, the action will not start.


  2. Select an archive where you want to check if recorded video is available (2).  If you leave the field empty,  all recorded video in the camera's archives is checked.
  3. Specify how far back in the past to scan (3). The verification time period covers: [the time of the action start - (minus) the depth of the check; start time of the action].
  4. Select a reaction if the archive entries are found (4).
  5. Select a reaction  if the archive entries are not found (5).


If E-mail - or SMS-notification is selected as a reaction, then the target cameras will be indicated in the message (if a group of cameras was selected) for which there are no entries in the archive for the specified period.

You can also use two special purpose templates in the message:

{failureRecordCheck} – failed verification of a record in a Archive (format: Server Name|Camera Name|Archive Name).

{successRecordCheck} – successful verification of a record in a Archive (format: Server Name|Camera Name|Archive Name).

Important! For proper execution of the macro, synchronize the time across all Servers within the Axxon domain.
