Actions determine what happens when an alarm is raised for a camera. Certain actions have the added benefit of allowing extending their configuration on a per-camera basis, without altering the base configuration of the alarm. This means that these actions can also be extended by power users, so that some of your end customers can influence additional behavior. This is especially important for notifications, where customers can add additional email addresses to receive alarm notifications for their cameras themselves, and define custom messages specifically tailored to the camera and alarm.
