D. Event List

The IP Cam provides multiple event settings.

1. Event Setting

a. Motion Detection

To enable motion detection, please tick "Area 1/2/3". Click "Area 1/2/3" in “Area Setting”, and draw an area on the preview screen. When motion is detected in the area, the word "Motion!" will be displayed on the live screen. The camera will send video or snapshot to specific mail addresses, trigger the output device, or save video to FTP/ Micro SD card/ Samba.

By selecting "save to SD card", the video or snapshot will be saved to Micro SD card. Also, by ticking “E-mail/ FTP/ Samba” on the "Log" option, the motion detection log will be sent to “E-mail/ FTP/ Samba” simultaneously.

• Interval: For example, selecting "10 sec". Once the motion is detected

and action is triggered, it cannot be triggered again within 10 seconds.

• Based on the schedule: When the option box is ticked, only during the selected schedule time the motion detection is enabled.

b. Tampering Detection

When the camera view is covered, moved, hit by strong light, or out of focus, the tampering detection will be triggered, and send snapshot or video to mail/FTP/Samba/SD card, or trigger the external alarm. For example:

Before Tampering Detection Tampering Triggered (Defocused)

Before Tampering Detection Tampering Triggered (Lens Covered)

Before Tampering Detection Tampering Triggered (Glare)

Before Tampering Detection Tampering Triggered (Camera Moved)

• Interval: The tampering detecting interval. Take the diagram below as example. The interval is set for 30 second; the camera lens is covered during 10 - 40 sec. At time point B, the camera compares the view with time point A, and sends an alarm when it founds that the lens is covered. At time point C, the camera compares the view with time point B, and sends an alarm when it founds that the lens is uncovered.

c. Record File

When an event occurs, the IP camera will record a video clip or take snapshot, and then send to mail/ FTP/ Samba. Select the file format to be saved.

• AVI File (with Record Time Setting): Save AVI video file. The video length is according to the value set in Record Time Setting.

• JPEG Files (with Record Time Setting): Only when selecting "JPEG" in streaming 1 video format of Video Setting, this option can be enabled. Select this option to save several JPEG picture files. The successive picture files cover a period of time according to the value set in Record Time Setting.

• JPEG File (Single File with Interval Setting): Save single JPEG picture file when the event occurs.

d. Record Time Setting

When an event occurs, the IP camera can record a video clip or take a snapshot, and then send it via mail/ FTP/ Samba. Select the video recording length before and after the event is detected.

e. Network Dis-connected:

The IP Cam will scan the network. The image will be record to the SD card after the IP Camera detects network dis-connected, if set “Save to SD card”.

f. Network IP check:

After enable IP Check, the IP camera can check if the network server is connecting. If the IP camera checking failed, the image will be recorded to the SD card.

2. Schedule

a. Schedule: After complete the schedule setup, the camera data will

be recorded according to the schedule setup.

b. Snapshot: After enable the snapshot function; the user can select the

storage position of the snapshot file, the interval time of the snapshot and the reserved file name of the snapshot.

c. Interval: The interval between two snapshots.

3. I/O Setting

a. Input Setting:

The IP Cam supports input and output. When the input condition is triggered, it can trigger the relay; send the video to mail addresses /FTP server / SAMBA.

• Interval:

For example, if you select "10 sec" here, once the motion is detected and action is triggered, it cannot be triggered again within 10 seconds.

• Based on the schedule:

When the option box is ticked, only during the selected schedule time the I/O is enabled. That is, for example, the 11th hour of Monday has not been colored in the schedule table, then no action will be triggered even if the camera detects input signal during 11:00~12:00 on Monday.

b. Output Setting:

The output mode affects the DO or relay out duration.

 ON/Off Switch: The camera triggers the external device and lasts

for 10 seconds. You can turn off the alarm manually by clicking “off” at the right bottom of the live video page.

 Time Switch: The camera triggers the external device and lasts for

certain time according to the internal setting, and the user is not allowed to break off the alarm manually.

4. Log List

Sort by System Logs, Motion Detection Logs and I/O Logs. In addition, System Logs and I/O Logs won’t lose data due to power failure.

5. Log List

a. Playback

Please Insert the Micro SD card before use it. Make sure to push the Micro SD card into the slot completely.

Click the date listed on this page for showing the video list. The video format is AVI. Click the video to start Microsoft Media Player to play it. To delete the video, check it, and then click "Del".

b. SD Management

Choosing “The 1st day” means the recoding file will be kept for one day.

Example: It is five o’clock now. Choose “The 1st day”. The files will be kept

from five o’clock yesterday to five o’clock today.

The oldest file will be deleted if the Micro SD card is full.

Note：The use of the SD card will slightly affect the operation of the IP Camera, such as affecting the frame rate of the video.

c. Copy to PC

You can insert the Micro SD card to the PC and read the files directly, or use FlashGet instead to download the files from the IP camera. (In this way you do not need to pull out the Micro SD card from the camera.)

To use FlashGet for downloading image and video data from the

Micro

SD card, please follow the steps:

(i) Enter data list and right-click “Files link daily”, select “save target as…” then save the link list to PC.

(ii) Open FlashGet, select "File" → "Import" → "Import list", and find the link list file you just saved. The file name may be called “SD_list”.

(iii) FlashGet will show you the link list, and you can tick the files you want to copy to your PC. Give the directory path in the new download window, and remember to enable "Login to Server": key in the IP Camera username and password.

(iv) Click “OK” to start download.

• FlashGet is free software that can be downloaded from FlashGet

official website. The example above is based on FlashGet ver.1.9.6.

• Re-login the camera by using the default IP (http://192.168.1.200), and user name (admin), password (admin).

VIII. Universal Password

If you forgot the password of your IP camera, you can reset the camera to factory default, or follow the procedure below to generate a universal password.

Note: Universal password will be valid only when you enable the function in User Management.

1. First, you need to know the IP address and MAC of your IP camera. You can use IP installer to scan the LAN, and see the IP address and MAC on the side column.

Or, if you already know the IP address of camera: Open the web browser, key in

“http:// (IP address) /GetIPMAC.cgi” and press enter. The IP address and MAC will be

displayed on browser.

2. Find the .html file named “Universal Password” in CD-ROM. Click to open it.

3. Key in the camera IP address “IP Adder.” column and MAC in “MAC” column,

and then click “encoder”. You will see a set of username and password appear,

as below:

The universal username and password are generated from the IP address and MAC you key in, so if you change the camera IP address the universal password changes, too.

4. Take the picture for example, the universal username is “C90848” and password is “CNCE_U6KLA”. Use them to log in the camera.

5. Now you can login as administrator. Turn to User Management page. The use of universal password does not affect the previous user setting, so the administrator account password does not change until you edit it. Please click “Edit” to give a new administrator password.
