I/O Level

Select the state of your trigger source’s output.

SCHEDULE

NetCam can wait in trigger-capture/upload mode 24 hours a day,

seven days a week, or you can set whatever time window and days of the

week you like. Use military time for the beginning and ending window

times.

Example: You can configure NetCam to only upload Between 07:30

and 18:30 only on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday.

PRE-BUFFER

Pre-buffered images are images that are stored before the event

trigger occurs. For example, if you connect a door sensor to NetCam with

10 image pre-buffering enabled, 10 frames of video that occurred before

the door was opened will be captured/uploaded.

If pre-buffering is enabled, the NetCam will continuously buffer

images in a rotating loop. This will affect the video speed of NetCam if

you’d like to view live streams at the same time. Most applications don’t

require pre-buffering. Only enable this option if you require video frames

before the actual trigger takes place.

Delay

The number of milliseconds to delay between image captures. For

the fastest possible frame rate, set this to 33. Viewing other video sources

during the triggered capture will affect the recording speed. Assuming no

other video sources are being viewed/uploaded, here are some example

frames rates for a single triggered video source:

33 ms = 30 Frames Per Second (Max Speed)

250 ms = 4 FPS

500 ms = 2 FPS

1000 ms = 1 FPS

Count

The number of pre-buffer images to store. There is a finite amount

of memory in which to store images. Keep the total number of pre and

post-buffer medium resolution images to below 50, even less for full size

images.

POST-BUFFER

Post-buffered images are images that are recorded after a triggered

event occurs. For example, if you connect a door sensor to NetCam with

20 image post-buffering enabled, 20 images will be captured/uploaded

after the door opened.
