Edit camera settings

Note, that the settings for each camera are configured separately.

On each camera preview window there is a tool icon in the lower right corner, click this icon to bring up the camera's Camera Configuration window.

It is important to know that configuration settings are stored in the camera and are retrieved when a video session is opened.

To understand the various configuration settings we will look at the settings for cam3.

Refer to the table below and the screen shots that follow to understand how to configure the camera's settings.

Group or Item	Function
Camera Name	You can edit the camera name. Up to 15 characters may be used. The new name will
	appear when the next video session is initiated.
Display Date and	This grouping allows you to set your date and time preferences.
Time
Motion Detection	Check the "Motion Detection" box to enable video motion detection. Motion is determined
	by comparing current and previous video frames.
	Attachment Type – If you want an email notification, choose between sending a Video
	Clip or Snapshot attachment. Note, this choice also determines what will be stored in the
	Event History. If no choice is made, a Video Clip will be stored in the Event History.
	Pre-Capture and Post Capture Length – These two settings determine the beginning
	and end of the 10 second period that is captured when motion is detected. For video a 10
	second clip is captured, and for snapshots a series of 10 are captured.
	Interval – Choose from 1 to 15 minutes before the next video motion can be captured.
	This setting helps reduce excessive notifications.
	Edit Detection Areas – This opens a new window to allow setting up to 4 detection
	areas where the Activity Threshold can be adjusted.
Events	This grouping enables you to set which Triggers will be used to cause certain actions. Un-
	available settings are grayed out.
	Triggers can be from an Input, PIR or Motion. One or more may be selected.
	•	Input – Triggered by the security system's control panel. Such a trigger may come
		from a door opening, safe opening, etc. (This Feature is Reserved for Future Use.)
	•	PIR – Triggered by the camera's PIR sensor. (This Feature is Reserved for Future Use.)
	•	Motion – Triggered by video motion.

A triggered input can cause the following Actions. One or more may be selected.

•Capture – The video or snap shot is stored in the Event History and can send an email notification if desired.

•Output Port – Connector port on the camera can be used to turn on light or sounder, etc. (This Feature is Reserved for Future Use.)

•White Light LED – The camera's white light LEDs turn on for the 10 second video motion capture period.

Edit Schedule – Opens up a new window to allow setting schedules that define when a motion event can be detected.
