device; otherwise both pins will be open. While

 

choosing to upload snapshots, the method can

 

be either email or FTP. The snapshot names will

 

be “videopre.jpg”, videotrg.jpg”, and

 

“videopos.jpg” respectively for the snapshots

 

before event, right upon event, and after event.

 

The date and time suffix may be added according

 

to the option. Confirm the external mail or FTP

 

server settings in network configuration.

specified interval to the external server according to the chosen method. Remember this operation is dependent to the weekly schedule.

Send snapshots by email - Any upload action specified in the options above will use the method chosen here. The captured snapshot named “video.jpg” will be attached in the email with subject “Periodic snapshots.”

Send snapshots by FTP - The captured snapshots will upload to the

 

external FTP server with the file name depending

 

on the next option. It can be used to refresh the

 

captured image stored in the external web server

FTP put snapshots with

to build creative homepages.

If the suffix is added, the captured date and time

date and time suffix -

 

can be easily differentiated from the snapshot file

 

name in either sequential or event operation. For

 

instance, “video@20020102030405.jpg” means

 

the JPEG image was captured at 4 minutes and

 

5 seconds after 3 o’clock, January 2nd, A.D. 2002.
