11- Additional Configuration
Recommendation:
While the Encoder can be configured remotely from outside the local network, operation can be slow. We strongly
recommend that the bulk of configuration be performed via the local network to avoid slow response times.
1- Upgrade the Firmware
See section
12.3-System Update
for details on the features used in this step.
A. Download the latest firmware from www.SnapAV.com.
Note: If no firmware appears on the products support tab, there have been no updates to the firmware since
the initial release.
B. Select Config Button in the upper right hand corner of the Main Encoder Interface.
C. Select System Update in the left side menu.
D. If the firmware version listed is below the version on the site, then firmware should be updated.
E. Select Browse, navigate to the folder containing the firmware, select the latest firmware file, and select Open.
F. Select Upgrade to start the update process.
WARNING: Firmware upgrade must be performed from a wired connection on the local network. While it is
possible to recover from an update that fails due to a lost connection, the Encoder will be inoperable until a
successful upgrade is performed from a reliable connection.
2- Configure Motion Detection Areas
Motion Detection allows for specific areas of the image to be used for triggering the recording of video, an alarm, or sending
a notification. When an area is defined, motion in that area will trigger the predefined action; this is useful to avoid unwanted
events from being triggered due to motion in areas of no concern.
Note
: Motion for the entire viewable area is set by default; we recommend that smaller areas be defined unless this is
desired result.
See section
12.10.1-Motion Detection
for details on the features used in this step.
A. Select Event Setting under Event on the left side Menu.
B. Select Ch1 under the image.

(Range 1 Low to 10 High).
E.4- Set the Interval between motion events (the minimum time to wait
before triggering subsequent motion events).
E.5- Repeat Steps E1 to E4 for Area 2 & 3 if more areas are needed.
F. Select the File Format from the dropdown list.
G. Select the time to Start and Stop the recording.
