You can use text templates in actions that involve sending notifications (see E-mail notification, Push notification, Execute web query):

TemplateDescription
{cameraNode}Server name (used if a macro start condition is connected to a camera)

{eventNode}

Server name (used if a macro start condition isn't connected to a camera)

{cameraName}

Name and a short name of the camera that initiated a macro
{cameraLabel}Just the camera name

{cameraIpAddress}

Camera IP address

{cameraId}

Camera ID

{cameraRef}

The VIDEOSOURCEID identifier (see Get list of cameras and information about them)
{dateTime}Time of a macro start in ISO format in the UTC time zone
{serverDateTime}Time of a macro start in ISO format in the server time zone

{plate}

Recognized vehicle license plate
{plateDirection}

Direction of movement of a vehicle in the frame.

Possible values:

  • 1—from top to bottom;
  • 2—from bottom to top

{name}

Name of the recognized person from a list of faces (see Faces)

{list}

Name of a list of faces or a list of LPs (see Faces, LPs)

You can use the {age} and {gender} templates (see Parameters that specify the conditions for starting a macro when recognizing a face) when the following conditions are met:

  1. The Age and gender parameter (see Configuring the Face detector VA, Configuring the Face detector TV) or the Face attributes recognition parameter (see Configuring the Face detector VL) is enabled in the settings of a face detector.
  2. The Face detected: Specified detection event is selected as a start condition for this macro (see Configuring start conditions).

{age}

Age of a recognized person
{gender}Gender of a recognized person
{appearedTime}Time of object detection in the UTC time zone
{serverAppearedTime}Time of object detection in the server time zone
{rectangles}Coordinates and size of an object that generated an event from a detector
{comment}User comment

Statistical templates (used only when a macro is started when a corresponding statistical condition is met (see Starting the Event rules macros based on statistical data)).

{cpuUsage}Server CPU usage
{netUsage}Server network usage
{memoryUsage}Server memory usage
{diskUsage}Disk usage
{archiveUsage}Archive usage
  • In addition to curly braces {}, you can also use %% or [] in templates. For example, %cameraId%.
  • The date/time templates (such as {dateTime}, {serverDateTime}, {appearedTime}, {serverAppearedTime}) offer an extended input option, which allows you to specify the date and time in arbitrary format. A format description parameter must be contained within a pair of @ characters. For example, {dateTime@%Y–%m–%d %H:%M:%S@}. In this case, the actual format is presented as 2020–10–04 18:43:23.
