What component is responsible for triggering video rules based on events or device failures?

The component responsible for triggering video rules based on events or device failures is the Recording Server. This server is designed to handle the management of video data, including recording, playback, and the execution of specific actions based on predefined rules. When an event occurs—such as motion detection, camera tampering, or device failures—the Recording Server can trigger associated video rules to react appropriately, like starting a recording session or sending alerts.

The Mobile Server, on the other hand, mainly focuses on delivering video streams to mobile devices and may facilitate remote access, but it does not directly manage rule-triggering mechanisms based on events.

The Management Server is typically involved in system configuration, user management, and overall administrative tasks. While it oversees the entire system, its role does not include direct interaction with video triggering rules tied to specific events.

The Smart Client is an interface used for viewing and interacting with the video feeds but, similar to the Mobile Server, does not initiate actions based on device events or failures. Therefore, the Recording Server is the key component when it comes to executing video rules in response to events within a surveillance system.
