General Settings

The General Settings page includes programmable fields for the device name, time server, and text
overlay settings. The device name is the user-friendly description of the camera displayed in the gray
area near the top of screen. The time server is an external server that uses Network Time Protocol (NTP)
to synchronize the camera date and time settings. The text overlay settings allow you to customize the
appearance of the Web browser by displaying the device name and the date and time at the top or bottom
of the live view.
You can also use the General Settings page to turn the camera’s power LED on or off and to configure
the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) server to send an email notification when an event handler
is activated.
Note Consult your network administrator for information on configuring email notification on your local
network.

Information Settings

The System Information page fields are read-only and include the firmware version, hardware version,
model number, and serial number of the system.
