General information

This action checks if there is at least one recording interval in the archive from a particular camera or a group of cameras for the specified period.

Configuring an action

To configure this action, do the following:

  1. Go to the Programming tab.
  2. In the Event rules or Cycle rules list, click Create... (see Configuring macros).
  3. Select a start condition that triggers a macro (see Configuring start conditions).
  4. Click the  button below start conditions.
  5. From the drop-down list, select Check that archive record exists.
  6. In the Camera parameter, select a camera or group of cameras to check if there is a record in the archive

    If a macro is initiated by an event from an input or output (see Configuring start conditions) that is not connected to any camera, you need to select a specific camera for this action. If you select a group of cameras or a camera that initiated the macro, the action doesn't start.

  7. In the Record to parameter, select an archive in which you want to check that archive record exists. If you leave the field blank, the check is performed in all archives associated with this camera.
  8. In the Depth of check parameter, specify the depth of archive check. The check covers [the time of the action start - (minus) the depth of the check; start time of the action].
  9. In the Execute if video in archive parameter, select an action if the archive record for the specified period is found.
  10. In the Execute if no video in archive parameter, select an action if the archive record for the specified period isn't found.

    If you select E-mail notification as an action, then the text of the message contains cameras (if a group of cameras is selected), for which there is no record in the archive for the specified period. You can also use two special purpose templates in the message:

    • {failureRecordCheck}—failed check of a record in the archive in the format Server Name|Camera Name|Archive Name.
    • {successRecordCheck}—successful check of a record in the archive in the format Server Name|Camera Name|Archive Name.

    Attention! For the correct execution of the macro, synchronize the time across all servers within the Axxon-domain.

  11. Click the Apply button. 

Configuration of the Check that archive record exists action is complete.
