VPort 2310 User’s Manual System Configuration

a.Trigger output alarm.

Administrators can set the trigger output alarm when the DI or Video Motion Detection conditions are met. Check the box of the listed action to enable the triggered output alarm.

b.Upload snapshot. Administrators can set the upload snapshot action when the DI or Video Motion Detection conditions are met.

NOTE	VPort 2310 Video Server will take 3 JPEG snapshot images: VPRE.JPG (pre-event), VTRG.JPG
	(the moment of event) and VPOS.JPG (post-event) for the video channel when the trigger
	condition is met. Three snapshots of the channel can also be downloaded via FTP or HTTP URL
	(refer to the “Download Event-triggered Snapshots” section from Chapter 5 for more details).

c.Reset output. When the digital output alarm is triggered, administrators can check this Reset output option, and then click on Save to reset the digital output status.

Sequential Mode

With this feature, VPort 2310 Video Server can upload snapshots periodically to an external E-mail or FTP server as a live video source. The interval can be set to anywhere from a tenth of a second to several hours, with Snapshot every □ seconds. The external E-mail or FTP server must be set up in the Network configuration page.

Send Snapshot by Email or FTP

Snapshots taken by either event operation or sequential mode, which are set in the Network configuration page, can be sent by E-mailor FTP. If E-mailis chosen, the snapshots of the video channel will be attached to the emails. If FTP is chosen, administrators can choose to add date and time in the file name of the snapshots by checking FTP put snapshots with date and time suffix. If the snapshots are used as the live video source, the date and time suffix can be eliminated to update the same source file.

NOTE	In Sequential mode, the VPort will send out snapshots according to time interval settings. If
	snapshot files are intended for quick updates, it is better to skip the date and time suffix, in which
	case the file name will be video.jpg. If the snapshots are used for occasional monitoring,
	suffixing with date and time can help administrators easily classify the snapshots.
NOTE	Compared to the FTP method, email will induce more delay, although email can notify users
	more promptly.

Camera Control

VPort 2310 supports PTZ (PAN/TILT/ZOOM) motorized camera control via an RS-232 or RS-485 COM port. Before setting up camera control, the administrator should first connect the PTZ camera to the VPort.
