3.8. Email/FTP Alarm
The IP CAM provides the Email/ftp function, you can enable schedule the
Email/ftp ability in this page, the IP CAM will then send out an email with a jpeg
picture attached in the email and/or send out the jpeg picture file to a ftp server. 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 scheduled by the “scheduling” in section 3.10.
C. “disable” will disable the email/ftp alarm.
2. Motion sensitivity – there are three possible choices in this field.
“High” means high sensitivity, i.e., the detection is triggered by a very small
movement in the video image. If “High” is selected and the size of the moving
object is larger than about 1% of the whole video area, it is detected. Please be
noticed that the real size of the object could be large or small, anyway, the
detection is only based on the relative size of the object. Probably a small pencil
moving near the IP CAM could be detected, but a moving car far away from the
IP CAM could not be detected.
“Low” means low sensitivity, i.e., the detection is triggered by a very large
movement. If the size of the moving object is larger than about 10% of the whole
video area, it is detected. “Median” means 3% to trigger the detection.
3. Send email message – if this item is enabled, the IP CAM will send out an email
message with the jpeg picture attached to the specified email account.
4. Email recipient – this is the email address to receive the detection notice
message. An email message with the jpeg picture file named by the date/time of
the triggered moment will reach this address.
5. SMTP server – this is the SMTP server that will help to transfer the email
message. This server is irrelevant to the “Email recipient” address.
6. SMTP username/password – this is the account to use the SMTP server to
transfer the email message. The SMTP server and username/password account
are only for transfer the email message to the “Email recipient”, the “Email
recipient” could be on another email server or any reachable email address. The
username and password fields could be left empty if no authentication is needed
for the SMTP server.
7. SMTP server test – after the settings are filled, you could press “SMTP server
