Task Management
The camera refers to motion detection as an “alarm”. You can select what you want the camera to do once the
motion is detected.
1.
One option is to set up the details of your email server account and have the camera send you JPEG
snapshots.
2.
You can also set it up to send your pictures automatically every few minutes, or have the camera upload these
files to your FTP server (or a NAS hard drive with built-in FTP server)
3.
Recording to built-in Micro-SD card or NAS. All series cameras can now accept Micro SD cards. Capacities up
to 32 GB are supported.
These picture files are compatible not just with computer based email clients, but now also directly compatible
with Apple iPhones and other web-enabled cell phones. So your camera can alert you on your cell phone with a
picture or series of pictures when it detects motion.
One thing to keep in mind when sending pictures to cell phones is that without an unlimited data plan you may
incur charges by your cell phone carrier for each picture, and that wrong settings for sensitivity or motion
detection area can result in lots of extra emails. So be careful and test it on a computer with free email first.
