In a typical application, when motion is detected, the DCS-2330L sends images to a FTP server or via e-mail as notications. As shown in the illustration below, an event can be triggered by many sources, such as motion detection or external digital input devices. When an event is triggered, a specied action will be performed. You can congure the Network Camera to send snapshots or videos to your e-mail address or FTP site.
To start plotting an event, it is suggested to congure server and media columns rst so that the Network Camera will know what action shall be performed when a trigger is activated.
