In the MxHub, it is possible to trigger recording by the ActivitySensor or Videomotion detector. The predefined rule can be used in the MxHub for this purpose. **=\> Default Record on Motion Rule.** * * * You must proceed as follows: _ **1. Create the desired event in the camera.** _ **Setup Menu: Event Overview** **Image Analysis Event: Click on Edit** Add a new profile or edit one of the default profiles. Draw your detection windows in the live image and insert them. ![AS](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mobotix/original/2X/6/658c5c446476493582ba8886596cd69fc53447e3.png) * * * _ **2. Check that the camera is armed** _ **Setup Menu: General Event Settings** **Arming: Enabled** ![Arming](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mobotix/original/2X/9/9e56ec95cad2e6d115b990cfe947aa3c72aace29.png) **!!!These two steps must first be performed in the camera!!!** * * * _ **Now you can continue editing the camera in the MxHub.** _ _ **1. Select camera in Management Client** _ **→ Servers** **→ Recording Servers** **→ Open the menu of your camera and click on the camera itself.** ![Kamera auswählen](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mobotix/original/2X/4/4f68e4951ba690a38249840b5486402990b05a32.png) * * * _ **2. Deactivate the motion detection of the MxHub.** _ → Click **Motion** **→ Deactivate motion detection** ![Motion Detection deaktivieren](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mobotix/original/2X/7/73de7925d12e40afbe5a560fd61119bba5f35844.png) * * * _ **3. Make camera events known to the MxHub.** _ → Click on **Events** ![Events](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mobotix/original/2X/2/27fd14a441a0262e3bc2cbfef9aa91f26d8b4b56.png) → Click on **Add** → First select the event : **Motion started (HW)** and click **OK** ![Motion started (HW)](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mobotix/original/2X/1/1e738d2b52ab11b0901c75be9dc93e43b94cc454.png) → Click on **Add** again and now select **Motion stopped (HW)** and again click on **OK** ![Motion stopped(HW)](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mobotix/original/2X/9/98634ba326d431d6daebc45fa37618db00c643be.png) Now, the MxHub 2 has been made aware of events from the camera and can now react to these events. ![Events angelegt](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mobotix/original/2X/6/6758d9dbd276aa8233a9c6ca01ee97f1875de652.png) * * * _ **4. Configure rule for motion recording** _ → Click **Rules and Events** in the ManagementClient → Click on **Rules** ![Rules and Events](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mobotix/original/2X/f/fdddab3c9a48cdf3985e170ec9912180ea60514e.png) → Now select the rule: **"Default Record on Motion Rule"** ![Rule Motion](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mobotix/original/2X/a/a7cc6fa1c2fca949ced3146aafe86365ff486afb.png) → Right-click on this event and select: **Edit Rule…** ![Rule Motion Edit](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mobotix/original/2X/5/50ad2879338b443637f3859d3365a30318372ce8.png) _=\> By default, the MxHub records when the software motion detection triggers. To make the MxHub record when the camera detects motion, the rule must be modified as follows._ → Click on under **“Edit the rule description”: Motion Started** → Expand the menu: **Devices → Configurable Events and select “Motion started (HW)”.** ![Motion started rule](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mobotix/original/2X/5/588157157437f7cbb8228986e3ccbc0e0968a563.png) → If you click on **“All cameras”** , you can decide if the motion detection of the camera should be related to all cameras or only to specific cameras. In this case the S74-VaxALPR should trigger. ![Devices and groups](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mobotix/original/2X/6/67bcd0cc256562ef59672ac413f7740cd0eb3932.png) → If you now click on **“the device on which event occured”**. You can decide whether only the camera that triggered the event should record or whether other cameras should record if this camera triggered the event. ![Auswahl aufzeichnen](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mobotix/original/2X/8/8fa5e81c0b1cb1f7308dc6ebab87623b584bec6f.png) → To stop the recording, a termination event is needed. To do this, click on **“Motion Stopped”.** → Open the menu: **Devices → Configurable Events and select “Motion stopped (HW)”**. ![Motion stopped rule](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mobotix/original/2X/5/5dc5f7b53e0a653b1e802e5fa2df25d168df6575.png) → If you now click on **“All cameras”** , you can decide whether the motion stop event of the camera should be related to all cameras or only to specific cameras. In this case the S74-VaxALPR should stop recording and not all cameras. ![Motin Rec Rule finished](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex030/uploads/mobotix/original/2X/a/a56d2296d9afeb711b7a31379c801bb21452643e.png) You can now click on **“Stop recording 3 seconds after”** and put another time in this field. So when the **Event Motion Stopped(HW)** is triggered the MxHub records 3 more seconds. So the recording is now triggered by a Motion event of a IoT camera.
