Administrators can combine options on the application page to perform many
useful security applications. There are two trigger sources available: from an
external sensor or with built-in motion detection. There are also two kinds of
actions that can respond to these events that include uploading snapshots
over the internet and driving attached devices. To upload the snapshots, users
can choose either email or FTP according to user’s needs. Both e-mail and
FTP use the network settings on the network page. This section describes
how to enable motion detection and record snapshots to an FTP server.
If no external sensor is available, administrators can utilize the built-in motion
detection to monitor any abnormal movement and record the snapshots to an
FTP or SMTP server.
In this window, follow the steps below to ensure that motion detection is correctly
enabled:
c
Check “Enable motion detection.”
d
Click on “New” to have a new window to monitor video.
e
Enter in a window name.
f
Tune the “Sensitivity” and “Percentage” according to the local
environment. Highest sensitivity and lowest percentage provides the
most sensitive settings.

In this window, enter the settings for the FTP server you wish to record to.
Optionally, you can enter settings for a secondary backup FTP server.
Local FTP server port-
The Default port is 21. To connect to an FTP sever,
it is recommended that you do not change the
port number unless your camera is behind a
router. If your camera is behind a router, you can
assign any port number to this field, but you must
enable port forwarding on the router. Please refer
to your router manual for more information on port
forwarding.
1st FTP server-
If you are going to upload snapshots to an FTP
server, you will need to fill in the Domain name or
IP address of your external FTP server such as
ftp://dlink.com or ftp://123.123.123.1. (The server
name and IP address will vary
depending on the
user.) The following user settings must be
correctly configured for remote access.
