In the basic settings you specify the general behavior of the camera in case of an occurring motion event.
Page 47
2.6.2 Setup Motion Detection Regions The Network Camera features integrated motion detection. The camera does a frame-by-frame comparison and then determines, based on the motion detection window, sensitivity settings and threshold, whether or not a motion has occurred. The motion detection does not use infrared. It requires a visible image in order to function.
Page 48
Sensitivity The higher this value, the more sensitive the motion detection becomes. You will need to experiment to find the best value for your application. Set the parameter too high and the chance of receiving false alarms rises (potentially spamming your e-mail inbox or FTP server).
2.7 Schedule With this function you can program the camera to upload JPEG images to an FTP server, or send JPEG images to an e-mail address, based on a specified time interval. Item Description Enable FTP Schedule Enable or disable FTP scheduling. Time Interval Select the time interval between 2 FTP file transfers.
