D-Link DCS-±1±0 User Manual

Section ² - Configuration

These settings are to optimize your camera performance with your available bandwidth.

Select a fixed bandwidth for your camera operation. This option allows the user to select a custom frame rate

suitable for the bandwidth and the storage space.

Selecting fixed quality will roughly select your image quality and will not be as accurate as setting by bit rate.

This setting is easier to use when image quality does not have to be precise. Below is a typical file size after

1 minute of recording at 30fps (frames per second). This is only an average measurement; your file size may

differ due to lighting, black/white or color setting, and frame rate.

This will mute the audio for all connections.

(Advanced Audio Coding) A wide band audio coding algorithm that exploits two primary coding strategies to

dramatically reduce the amount of data needed to convey high-quality digital audio. Select a higher bit rate

number for better audio quality.

A standard adapted audio codec by the 3GPP video (3rd Generation Partnership Project). It is an Adaptive

Multi Rate-Narrow Band (AMR-NB) speech codec. Select a higher bit rate number for better audio quality.

It can be another value other than default port 21. If you find that you want to change the port to a port

number

other than 21, you will need to specify the port when connecting to the FTP server. For example

FTP://68.5.1.81:60 (if you are to use port 60 for your FTP server port)

The host name of the FTP server.

The port of the FTP server. Usually the port number of an FTP server is 21. It depends on the FTP server’s

setup.

The account name to access the FTP server.

The password that was setup with the account to access the FTP server.

The directory that the images will be uploaded into (e.g. \pub\images).

Check the checkbox to enable passive mode in transmission.

setup.

The account name to access the FTP server.

The password that was setup with the account to access the FTP server.

Check it to enable passive mode in transmission.

Note:

The second FTP setting only activates when the first FTP setting fails.

Invalid settings may cause the DCS-2120 to not respond. Change the configuration settings only if necessary. Consult

with your network administrator or your Internet Service Provider (ISP) if you do not have the necessary information.

If you cannot connect to the camera, refer to page

Motion Detection

Click the Motion Detection button on the left side of the Setup screen to enable the motion detection function of

the DCS-2120 Network camera.

Check this option to turn on motion

detection.

Adds new windows that monitor a

specific area of the image window. Up

to 3 motion detection windows can be

added.

Saves the new windows settings.

The name of the motion detection

window.

Adjusting the sensitivity allows you to

set the amount of motion required to

trigger motion detection. If you want

to detect most or all movement, use a

high sensitivity. If you want to ignore

smaller amounts of movement, use a

low sensitivity.

Adjusting the percentage allows you

to set a requirement on how much of the motion window must be filled by movement. Example:

If you set this to 50%, then the selected window must be half filled by a moving object before it

triggers motion detection.

A green bar means the image variation is under the monitoring level, and no motion detection alert is triggered. A red

bar means the image variation is over the monitoring level and a motion detected alert is triggered. When the bar goes

red, the window that the motion is detected in will also be outlined in red (

Note:

remember that you can have up to 3

windows selected for motion detection

). You can return to the DCS-2120 Home Page and the monitored window will

not be visible, but the red frame will show on the home page when motion is detected.

To display motion detection, a graphic bar will rise or fall depending on the image variation.
