Record Snapshots To Your Ftp Server With Motion Detection - D-Link DCS-5300 User Manual

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 email 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.
Click the Motion Detection button under the Advanced tab from the Configuration screen to access settings that affect
how the DCS-5300 Network Camera can serve as a security device by recording only when motion is detected.
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.
• Click on Save to enable the activity display.
