Setting Up an Action Rule
An actio n rule defines the conditions that must be met for the p roduct to perform an action, for example record video or send email
notifications. If multiple condit
ions are defined, all must be met to trigger the action.

les and click Add.
2. Select the Enabl
eruleoption and enter a descriptive name for the rule.
