Wireless-G Internet Video Camera

Options

The Options screen allows you to alter the Camera’s audio setting, e-mail alert features, UPnP configuration, and Alternate Port settings.

NOTE: When Intamac Camera Monitoring has been enabled on the Camera, a new set of defaults are applied. These defaults are optimised for the monitoring service, so they enhance the way the Camera sends captured motion, and make it possible for the Camera to generate alerts more quickly.

Linksys recommends that you do not change the Camera’s default settings until you have become familiar with the operation of both the Camera and the monitoring service.
