3.8. Email/ftp alarm
The Farlink IP Camera provides the Email / FTP alarm function. You can enable
or schedule the Email/ftp ability in this page. When the alarm trigger condition is met,
the IP Camera will then send out an email with a jpeg picture attached and/or to a ftp
server. The related settings are explained below:
1. Email/FTP trigger – choose between “motion”, “D/I”, “schedule” and “disable”
A. If “ Motion ” is selected, it means that when there is a motion detected, the
system will send out the email and/or ftp with the captured video snapshot.
B. If “ D/I ” ( For FL501 only ) is selected, it means that when there is a Digital
input alarm detected, the system will send out the email and/or ftp with the
captured video snapshot. If the D/I alarm is constantly on, the Farlink IP
Camera will keep sending out email/ftp message every second for up to 30
seconds.
C. If “ Schedule ” is selected, it means that the email/ftp alarm detection and
triggering will be scheduled by the “scheduling” in section 3.12.
D. “ Disable ” will disable the email/ftp alarm.
2. Motion sensitivity – there are three possible choices in this field.
“High” means high sensitivity, i.e., the motion detection is triggered by a very
small movement in the video image. If “High” is selected and the size of the
moving object is larger than about 1% of the whole video area, it is detected.
Please be advised that the real size of the object could be large or small, anyway,
the detection is only based on the relative size of the object. Probably a small
pencil moving near the Farlink IP Camera could be detected, but a moving car far
away from the Farlink IP Camera could not be detected.
“Low” means low sensitivity, i.e., the motion detection is triggered by a very large
movement. If the size of the moving object is larger than about 10% of the whole
video area, it is detected. “Median” means 3% to trigger the detection.
3. Send email message – if this item is enabled, the Farlink IP Camera will send out
an email message with the jpeg picture attached to the specified email account.
4. Email recipient – this is the email address to receive the detection notice
message. An email message with the jpeg picture file named by the date/time of
the triggered moment will reach this address.
5. SMTP server – this is the SMTP server that will help to transfer the email
message. This server is irrelevant to the “Email recipient” address.
6. SMTP username/password – this is the account to use the SMTP server to
transfer the email message. The SMTP server and username/password account
are only for transfer the email message to the “Email recipient”, the “Email
recipient” could be on another email server or any reachable email address. The
