If the pre-defined templates cannot meet your needs, you can customize linkage rules as desired.
If the trial period of your company expires, the added linkage rule(s) will remain for 3 month but the linkage will not be activated. After 3 months, the linkage rule(s) will be cleared.
Make sure you have the permission for the configuration of the devices. Or you should apply for the permission first. For details about applying for the permission, see Apply for Device Permission.
The Source and the Linked Resource cannot be the same device.
You cannot configure two totally same linkage rules. In other words, you cannot configure two rules with the same Source, Triggering Event, Linked Resource, and Linkage Action.
When the Source is a device added by IP/domain, the device added by Hik-Connect cannot be set as the Linked Resource for triggering capture.
Make sure that the selected triggering event has already been configured on the device. For details about configuring event on device, see the user manual of the device.

For configuring Linkage Actions for a same Source, if its Linked Resources are cameras (i.e., channels), you can set at most four Linkage Actions. For example, if you have set capturing picture and recording (the two are considered as two Linkage Actions) as the Linkage Actions for camera 1, you can only set two more Linkage Actions, i.e., capturing picture and recording for camera 2, or capturing picture for channel 2 and recording for channel 3, or recording for channel 2 and capturing picture for channel 3.
Up to 128 Linkage Actions or 10 Linked Resources can be selected.

Description |
---|---|---|
Camera (Channel) |
Capture Picture |
The camera will capture a picture when the Triggering Event is detected. |
Recording |
The camera will record video footage when the Triggering Event is detected. Note:
The recorded video footage starts from 5 s before the detection of the Triggering Event, and lasts 30 s. |
|
Call Preset |
Select a preset from the Preset drop-down list to specify it as the preset which will be called when the Triggering Event is detected. A preset is a predefined image position which contains configuration parameters for pan, tilt, zoom, focus and other parameters. By calling a preset, the PTZ camera will move to the predefined image position. Note:
Make sure you have configured presets for the PTZ camera. For details, see the user manual of the PTZ camera. |
|
Call Patrol |
Select a patrol from the Patrol drop-down list to specify it as the patrol which will be called when the Triggering Event is detected. A patrol is a predefined PTZ movement path consisted of a series of key points (i.e., presets) that have their own designated sequence. By calling a patrol, the PTZ camera will travels to all the key points in set speed so as to provide a dynamic view. Note:
Make sure you have configured patrols for the PTZ camera. For details, see the user manual of the PTZ camera. |
|
Call Pattern |
Select a pattern from the Pattern drop-down list tot specify it as the pattern which will be called when the Triggering Event is detected. A pattern is a predefined PTZ movement path with a certain dwell-time configured for a certain position. By calling a pattern, the PTZ camera moves according the predefined path. Note:
Make sure you have configured patterns for the PTZ camera. For details, see the user manual of the PTZ camera. |
|

|
Disarm |
The camera will be disarmed and hence the events related to the camera will not be uploaded to the Hik-Connect Mobile Client when the Triggering Event is detected. |
|
Enable Privacy Mask |
Privacy mask will be displayed on the live images of the camera when the Triggering Event is detected. Note:
Make sure you have configured privacy mask for the camera. For details, see the user manual of the camera. |

The alarm input will be disarmed and hence events related to it will NOT be uploaded to the Hik-Connect Mobile Client when the Triggering Event is detected. |
The linkage rule will be displayed on the linkage rule list.
If you have enabled the linkage rule, make sure the Notification functionality of the Source is enabled. For details about enable the functionality, see Enable Device to Send Notifications.
If the Notification functionality of the Source is disabled, the Linkage Action will NOT be activated no matter the Triggering Event is detected by Source or not.
Please notify the end user after handing over the site to him/her that notification of the Source should be kept enabled on the Hik-Connect Mobile Client, or the Linkage Action will NOT be activated no matter the Triggering Event is detected by Source or not. For details about enabling alarm notification for a specific device or channel, see the Hik-Connect Mobile Client User Manual.
