D-Link DCS-5300 User Manual

Administrators can combine options on the application page to perform many useful security tasks. There are two

trigger sources available: from an external sensor or with built-in motion detection. There are also two kinds of actions

that can respond to these events 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 detection 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 or SMTP server.

Click the

Motion Detection

button under the

Advanced

tab from the

Conﬁguration

screen to access settings that affect

how the DCS-5300 Network Camera can serve as a security device by recording only when motion is detected.

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

correctly enabled:

•

Check

•

Click on

Next, click the

John Smith

123.123.123.1

Snapshot

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.
