I was under the impression that the trigger icon on the main deasktop would set the trigger off to see if it performs as needed, but when I click it, it just records.
I can get the trigger to work on the "on-alert", and "on-rest" seperatly, but would like to see it run all the way from start to finish.

Can this be done ?, or am I missing something ?

TIA

When a camera window is selected by clicking on it and then the lightning bolt at upper left is clicked, the selected camera records. This is confirmed in BI's "Help" file.

The lightning bolt in the "On Alert" and "On Reset" is to TEST a configured alert.

In BI's "Help" file:
  • Go to "Introduction" => "User Interface" => "Selected Camera Controls" and find this:

  • Go to "Alerts and Actions" => "Testing the Action Set" and find this:

Thanks for that, didnt realise that the that icon was classed as external.
