4.3 Configuration Process
1. Determine what will trigger the capture of a photo or video.
Options include:
a. Timed Capture – Enable and configure Timed Capture 1,
Timed Capture 2, or both. To set this up using the web
interface, see Section 12.4.1
Timed Capture.
b. External Trigger – Enable and configure the External
Trigger Capture. To set this up using the web interface, see
Section 12.4.2
External Trigger.
c. Motion Detect – Enable and configure Motion Detect
Capture. To set this up using the web interface, see Section
12.4.3
Motion Detect.
2. Select the Power Mode that best suits the requirements (see
Table 4-1 Power Mode Summary ). Options are:
a. Fully On – Used if no power constraints exist or if high
performance is required.
b. Partially On – Provides substantial reduction in power
(especially with the Ethernet Power Mode set to Full Power
Save ).
c. Deep Sleep – Provides very good power savings. The camera
does not need to reboot when activated by a trigger.
Recommended for use if more than 24 triggers are expected per
day.
d. Off Mode – Offers the best power savings. Useful, if less
than 24 photos or video captures are required per day. It takes
about 90 seconds for the camera to wake up to start acquiring a
picture.
