Record Snapshots to your FTP

server with Motion Detection

Administrators can combine options on the application page to perform many useful

security applications.

There are two kinds of actions that can respond to the motion

detection event 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 detecting 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 then record the snapshots to an FTP server.

Click the

Motion Detection

button under the

Advanced

tab from the

Configuration

screen to access settings that affect how the

DCS-2100

Internet Camera can serve as

a security device by recording only when motion is detected.

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.

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.

Specify the user name to access the external FTP server (ex.

John Smith).

Specify the password to access the external FTP server (ex.

12345).

Specify the destination folder in the external FTP server (ex.

snapshot).

Passive mode will allow access to an external FTP server if

your camera is behind a router protected by a firewall.

Specify the Domain name or IP address of your second external

FTP server. This field is optional if you have already filled in

the information for the first FTP server.

Specify the user name to access your backup FTP server.

Specify the user password to your backup FTP server.

Specify the destination folder on your external backup FTP

server.

Passive mode will allow access to a second external FTP

server if your camera is behind a router protected by a firewall.

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.
