DETECTION RULES

Create Rules That Determine When to Alert

Detection Rules define when Sierrawing should generate an event or alert — combining a camera, a monitoring zone, a condition, a schedule, and a severity level into a single, reusable rule.

Camera+Zone+Condition+Schedule+Severity

Rules can be customized according to your operational requirements.

Example RuleYAML
Rule Name
Restricted Area Entry
Camera
CAM-18
Zone
