The Action Control function executes a pre-configured action when the camera receives action commands. Action commands send unicast and broadcast messages that provide instructions for actions to multiple cameras simultaneously by broadcasting them. A camera with this function can also provide instructions for actions to different types of cameras. Although this function includes jitter and delays, it is also helpful for controlling multiple cameras simultaneously.
Actions are performed when the following conditions are met:
ActionDeviceKey
is set to the camera and
ActionDeviceKey
in the action command match.
ActionGroupKey
is set to the camera and
ActionGroupKey
in the action command match.
ActionGroupMask
is set to the camera, and
GroupMask
in the action command performs an operation that produces a non-zero result.
