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 e-mail with subject

“Periodic snapshots.”

The captured snapshots will upload to the external FTP

server with the file name depending on the next option. It

can be used to refresh the captured image stored in the

external web server to build creative homepages.

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.

Configuration > Tools > Applications

(continued)

There are four options for two actions regarding

either

trigger condition. They can have multiple selections. While

choosing the trigger output alarm, the digital output will

short both pins to connect the circuit of the attached

external device; otherwise both pins will be open. While

choosing to upload snapshots, the method can be either

e-mail or FTP. The snapshot names will be “videopre.

jpg”, videotrg.jpg”, and “videopos.jpg” respectively for the

snapshots before event, right upon event, and after event.

The date and time suffix may be added according to the

option. Confirm the external mail or FTP server settings

in network configuration.

The

DCS-6620G

will send snapshots at the specified

interval to the external server according to the chosen

method. Remember this operation is dependent to the

weekly schedule.

Record Snapshots to your FTP server with Motion Detection

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 e-mail 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.

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



Check “Enable motion detection.”



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



Enter in a window name.



Adjust the “Sensitivity” and “Percentage” levels according to the local

environment. The highest sensitivity and lowest percentage provides the most

sensitive setting. Percentage refers to the area that is covered by motion before

detection is intialized.



Click on save to enable the activity display.

Click the

Motion Detection

button under the

Advanced

tab from the

Configuration

screen to access

settings that affect how the

DCS-6620G

802.11g PTZ Internet Camera can serve as a security

device by recording only when motion is detected.
