All the time except

for the above

schedule:

If you do not wish to set a schedule, this box must be checked.

Sets the time delay before restarting to check the trigger

condition when the current condition is triggered.

After a snapshot is taken because of a trigger, another snapshot

will be taken after the configured time in seconds.

There are 4 conditions related to the digital input and three

windows for motion detection. There can be multiple selections.

Select the appropriate digital input condition according to the

characteristics of the external device.

High

or

low

indicate

external voltage input for level trigger, while

rising

or

falling

is

for edge triggers. There are three windows shown for the names

you defined for

motion detection.

Undefined

will show instead

of the window title if motion detection is not setup yet. An active,

named motion window must be checked for motion detection

to be possible.

Check and save this option to reset the external device at the

digital output back to the original state.

There are four options for two actions regarding

either trigger

condition. They can have multiple selections. While choosing

the trigger output alarm, the digital output will short both pins to

connect the circuit of the attached external device; otherwise

both pins will be open. While choosing to upload snapshots,

the method can be either email or FTP. The snapshot names

will be “videopre.jpg”, videotrg.jpg”, and “videopos.jpg”

respectively for the snapshots before event, right upon event,

and after event. The date and time suffix may be added

according to the option. Confirm the external mail or FTP server

settings in network configuration.

The camera

will send snapshots at the specified interval to the

external server according to the chosen method. Remember

this operation is dependent to the weekly schedule.

Any upload action specified in the options above will use the

method chosen here. The captured snapshot named “video.jpg”

will be attached in the email with subject “Periodic snapshots.”

Send snapshots by

FTP:

The captured snapshots will upload to the external FTP server

with the file name depending on the next option.

If the suffix is added, the captured date and time can be easily

differentiated from the snapshot file name in either sequential

or event operation. For instance, “[email protected]”

means the JPEG image was captured at 4 minutes and 5

seconds after 3 o’clock, January 2nd, A.D. 2002. If the suffix is

omitted, the file named “video.jpg” on the external FTP server

will be refreshed at the specified interval.
