Appendix: Local Recording to SD Card
You can use the camera’s SD card slot to set up an automatic recording solution. This
requires a Micro SD card to be inserted into the camera. It supports Micro SD cards
up to 32GB.
By default, the camera will save images and short videos any time it detects an alarm
event. The default alarm event it will detect is triggered by motion detection - the
default sensitivity is 5 (on a scale of 1 - 10 with 1 being lowest and 10 being highest).
To enable or modify the SD
card recording instructions:
•
From the Login Screen,
navigate to Settings
•
Choose Alarm from the
menu
•
You’ll see the options listed
to the right Most, but not
all, affect the way images/
video will be stored on the
SD card.
•
By default, the camera will
capture a short video and
five still images of each
motion event.
Video Record / Image Record (checkbox):
Whether the camera will attempt to
record images and/or video when it detects a motion event.
Set Record / Set Snap:
Choose the quality, number of and duration (video) of the
recordings/images captured by the camera.
Image Save / Transfer:
What you’d like the camera to do when it’s filled the SD card,
or beforehand in the case of image transfer. You can choose to stop storing new
images when the card is full, or overwriting old ones to make room for new ones.
FTP Transfer (Advanced Users Only):
Configure the camera to upload to an FTP
server. We recommend that only advanced users enable this, as FTP can be tricky to
set up.
Send Mail:
You can configure the camera to send images/videos as an email
attachment. Before doing so, ensure that there will be either a small number of
emails or that you’ve got a
lot
of storage space available. If you select this option you
will need to set details including your email address and email account logon details,
consult with your Internet Service Provider for this information.
