Section 3 - Configuration

Administrators can combine options on the application page to perform many useful security applications. To upload

the snapshots, users can choose either email or FTP according to the 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.

Administrators can utilize the built-in motion detection to monitor any abnormal movement and then record the snapshots

to a FTP server.

Record Snapshots to your FTP server

In this window, follow the steps below to ensure that motion detection is correctly enabled:

1 Check “Enable motion detection.”

2

Click on “New” to have a new window to monitor video.

3 Enter in a window name.

4 Tune the “Sensitivity” and “Percentage” according to the local

environment. Combined higher sensitivity with lower percentage

gives you high sensitivity for the motion detection.

5 Click on save to enable the activity display.

Next, click the Mail & FTP button under the Advanced tab to set the FTP server settings for the DCS-3420.

The Default port is 21. To connect to an

FTP server, 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 internal/

external FTP server such as ftp://dlink.com

or ftp://192.168.0.123. (The server name

and IP address will vary

depending on the

user.) The following user settings must be

correctly configured for remote access.

The port of the FTP server. The default is

21 for an external FTP site.

Specify the user name to access the

external FTP server (e.g. John Smith).

Specify the password to access the external

FTP server (e.g. 12345).

In this window, enter the settings for the FTP server you wish to upload the image to. Optionally, you can enter settings
