Navigation:  Working with qulu > Configuring Events and Actions (Admin Only)

qulu provides powerful and flexible event bus than can be used for simple and intuitive programming of any algorithm.

Algorithms are a set of Rules. Each Rule is a combination of Event-Action. As soon as Event is fired up, qulu triggers the appropriate Action.

The following events and actions are supported:

Every Event that has occurred is automatically saved in system's Event Log. If no Rules are active, only system issues will be saved. See "Viewing Events Log" for details.

IMPORTANT. Some default Rules are already configured. See "Default Rules" for details. It is possible to reset all Rules configurations to default settings. To reset, click on Reset Default Rules and Apply or OK. All previously configured Rules will be discarded.

To configure Rules:

1.Do one of the following:

•To configure Global Rules: open Main Menu and go to Alarm/Event Rules (or press CTRL + E). It is possible to configure Rules for specific Camera(s). To proceed, type the desired Camera name, IP or MAC address into the Filter box. Only Rules that are applied to a corresponding Camera will be displayed.
