46 ApplicationsThis system can perform particular actions such as recordingstart and camera direction change, triggered by reception ofparticular signals from cameras. A triggering input is calledan “event” and a behavior triggered by the event is called an“action.”With event and action settings, a certain action can beactivated when a certain event occurs by enabling the eventpreset in a connected device in settings of this unit andassociating it with the action.Types of Event and ActionTypes of event and action are indicated below. Event types Action typesEvents Configuration—Generic EventWhen character strings received by this unit match thepredetermined conditions, a generic event is triggered. Thefollowing is the procedure for setup on this unit includingcommunication data reception setting.
