Mounting the Camera

It is highly recommended that you congure and test your camera before mounting it.

Step 1

Place the mounting sticker where you want to position the camera. Make sure
the camera base will be positioned so that the cable channel is on the bottom.

Use a 6 mm drill bit to make the required holes approximately
25 mm deep, then insert the wall anchors into the holes.

If you are running the camera cables through the wall, drill
a hole in the center and pull the cables through the hole.

Step 2

Use the screws provided to mount the camera to the wall.

If you are running the camera cables out the side of the camera, guide the camera
cables through the cable channel on the base.

Motion Detection

Motion detection enables the camera to monitor the video feed for movement. Here, you can adjust the sensitivity settings that determine whether
motion is detected by the camera or not. After making any changes, click the Save Settings button to save your changes.

Enable Video Motion:

Sensitivity:

Draw Motion Area:

Erase Motion Area:

Select this box to enable the motion detection feature
of your camera.

Species how sensitive motion detection will be from
0% to 100%. A low sensitivity setting means that there
must be large changes between two images in order to
detect motion, and a high sensitivity setting means that
even small changes will cause motion to be detected.

Use your mouse to click and drag on the areas that you
would like to monitor for motion.

To erase a motion detection area, simply click on the red
square that you wish to remove.

Right click on the camera image to bring up the following
menu options:

Select All: Draws a motion detection area over the
entire screen.
Clear All: Clears any motion detection areas that have
been drawn.

Event Setup

In a typical application, when motion is detected, the DCS-4701E 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. 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.

oldest record when the total recording size exceeds this
value. For example, if each recording le is 6MB, and the
total cyclical recording size is 600MB, then the camera
will record 100 les in the specied location (folder) and
then will delete the oldest le and create new le for
cyclical recording.

Please note that if the free HDD space is not enough, the
recording will stop. Before you set up this option please
