Up to 10 event types can be configured in the camera, and up to three of these can be configured to upload images.
File names can be formatted according to specific requirements. See File Naming & Date/Time Formats in the online
help .
Save stream
To upload images to an FTP or HTTP server, save the video stream to the local storage card or to send images by email, check
the Save stream box.
Image frequency – Set the image frequency to a desired frame rate. The frame rate will be the best possible, but might not be
as high as specified, especially if uploading via a slow connection.
Pre- and post-trigger buffers
This function is very useful when checking to see what happened immediately before and/or after a trigger, for example, 20
seconds before and after a door was opened. All uploaded images are JPEG images.
Include pre-trigger buffer – Images stored internally in the server from the time immediately preceding the trigger. Check the
box to enable the pre-trigger buffer and specify the buffer length in seconds, minutes or hours.
Include post-trigger buffer – Contains images from the time immediately after the trigger. The post-trigger buffer is
configured in the same way as the pre-trigger buffer.
for descriptions of each available option.
