Macros allow specifying a series of actions (including IF... THEN conditions) for reacting to events or even combinations of events. With macros, users can automate routine work and fully customize security systems based on site needs. Macros can contain an unlimited number of actions. Quickly create and edit macros using the visual editor. Any event in a distributed security system can be used as a trigger.

Two types of triggers are possible: Event occurred and Event not occurred (True/False). Macros can be run in one of three modes: automatic (perform every time a certain event occurs), manual (by operator command), and by schedule. Axxon Next has a new panel for running macros, in which the user interface displays a configurable list of buttons for controlling macro execution.
