Event Setup
When an event happens, a snapshot can be instantly sent to your E-mail account, ftp server, image server, or
SMS server to warn you about what's happened.
In order to properly set up the event function, you must:
1. First set up the event server based on your needs: E-mail, FTP, or Image server.
2. Once the event servers are configured, you can then go to the trigger setup page to create an event
trigger and the event action(s) in response.
3. In the motion detection page, click and drag on the preview image to create a detection region and
then click [Save].
Event Server Setup
Here it provides the configurations of various event servers available on the camera. Please click on the event
server you want to configure and provide necessary information.
Email server
Email server supports standard SMTP on SSL-protected webmail platforms such as Hotmail (Windows Live)
and Google Mail (Gmail). To use this function, go to [Event Server Setup] > [Email Event Server Setup], and
enter the SMTP server address and port respectively. Then enter your user name and password, and the
E-mail subject as you like. As of August 2010, SMTP and SSL settings for Hotmail and Gmail are as follows:
For [Authentication Method], select [Login]. Enter a complete email address into sender/receiver field:
xxxx@xxxx.com. Other SSL webmail platforms have not been tested.
FTP server
Here it provides the settings of the FTP server that can be used to store event snapshots taken by the
camera when an event is triggered. To start saving snapshots to a FTP server, click on the text link to set
up the FTP server. Ensure that you have put in correct server information before saving the changes. You
may try using the default FTP port number, 21, if you don't know the server's port number. After that,
set up the image server and then go ahead to create an event trigger and choose "FTP" as one of the
event actions. (Depending on your network environment, it may take a certain amount of time to upload
snapshots to the FTP server.)
