For example, by setting the buffer time to 20 seconds, when motion is detected, the footage recorded will start 20 seconds prior to the movement being detected, and will stop 20 seconds later.

  • Page 60: Alarm Server

    FTP Server The Y-cam can upload an image to an FTP server upon receiving an alarm from the motion detection window or at specific time intervals.

  • Page 62: Y-Cam & Common Email Server Settings

    Please note: The most common reason for Email Alerts not being sent is that the cameras Primary DNS IP Address is not set. You can check this on your Y-cam Settings System page. If it is empty, you can set it on the TCP/IP settings page, set to your Default Gateway address and this should solve the problem.
