Trigger Condition:

There are four conditions related to the digital input and up to 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 operation.

Trigger action defines what action the camera will take after the trigger condition is matched. The camera

will be able to trigger output alarm (optimal requires Digital Outout setup. Please refer to page 57 for more

information.) or upload the snapshots.

Check and save this option to reset the external device at the digital output back to the original state.

The camera will send snapshots to the external server (FTP, Email) continuously, based on the snapshot

interval. These settings will correspond with the Weekly Schedule (Sun ~ Mon) that is specified in

Applications settings.

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.”

The captured snapshots will upload to the external FTP server with the file name depending on the “FTP

put snapshots with date and time suffix” 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.
