Cast

Cast #

Cast is a rule that defines how to send data from Acts to the internet. A Cast is consisted of two parts: a trigger to specify when to send data and an action to specify how to send them.

For example, “When a camera detected people between the ages of 20 and 30, send JSON files to https://xxxxx.example.com/webhook”.

We call the destination Cast Target Service. For Webhook Cast, it is specified by URL; For BigQuery Cast, it is specified by Table ID.

As Cast is sent by Actcast servers, data destinations must be accessible from the internet.
