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.
