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

c.

– 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 contraints 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 trigeers 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.
