# Camera recording

This action can be used to record an image/image sequence from a camera.

# Id

The Id field shows the internal number of the action and its type. The number is for display purposes only and is determined automatically by the system. The action type cannot be changed subsequently.

# Name

The name of the action. The name is displayed in selection lists.

# Comment

The comment field is for free use by the integrator/system administrator. It is used exclusively to document the configuration. Information can be entered here, e.g. the purpose of the action. The content of this field is irrelevant for X2.

# Delayed execution

A [period of time](https://berg.x2.energy/hlp/de/fieldtype_timespan) that is waited before the action is executed. A value here means that the action is only executed with this delay after the trigger has been activated.

# Camera channel

The channel of the camera to be recorded from. The recording is added to the camera and can be called up via a camera control.

# Number of images/max. size

Use these parameters to set the maximum recording size. Recording continues until one of the limits is reached (maximum number of images or recording size).

# Add trigger

In this list, you define which triggers initiate this action. Use the + symbol to add the desired triggers. The action is only executed when one of the selected triggers is activated.
