3.9. Email/FTP Alarm
The IP CAM has a built-in Email/ftp functionality, which can automatically send an
email with a jpg image or push a jpg image to an ftp site whenever an alarm is
triggered. The related settings are explained below:
1. Email/FTP trigger – choose between "motion”, "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 "schedule” is selected, it means that the email/ftp alarm detection and
triggering will be active according to a preset schedule. Refer to the
"scheduling” instructions in section 3.11.
C. If "disable” is select, there will be no email/ftp alarm activity.
2. Motion sensitivity – there are three possible choices in this field.
"High” sensitivity means that an alarm will be triggered if a moving object larger
than about 1% of the entire video area is detected. Note that the real size of
the object is not important. What matters is the size of the moving object in
relation to the rest of the video display area. A small pencil moving close to
the camera could trigger the motion detection, while a large car moving far
away could go unnoticed.
"Median" sensitivity has a size threshold about 3% of the video display area.
"Low” sensitivity has a size threshold of about 10% of the video display area.
3. Send email message – if this option is enabled, the IP CAM will send an email
message with the jpeg picture attached to the specified email account.
4. Email recipient – input the email address to which the IP CAM will send a
detection notice message. The email will include a jpg image file named with the
date/time that the trigger occurred.
5. SMTP server – this is the SMTP server that will be used to send the mail
message.
6. SMTP username/password – this is the email account information used by the
SMTP server to transfer the email message. The SMTP server and
username/password account are only needed for transferring an email message
to the "Email recipient”. Note that the "Email recipient” can be on another email
server or any reachable email address. The username and password fields can be
left empty if no authentication is needed for the SMTP server.
7. SMTP server test – after the settings are completed, click "SMTP server test” to
check that all the settings are correct.
8. Send FTP message – if this option is enabled the IP CAM will send out a jpg
picture file to the specified ftp account.
9. FTP server – this is the FTP server address to receive the jpeg file.
