How to
authenticate
The authentication method can be selected:
[No authentication], [POP before SMTP authentication] or
[SMTP authentication].
POP server authentication may be required by your ISP. In
that case, set POP before SMTP authentication.
• No authentication: No authentication when sending an email.
• POP before SMTP authentication: Some SMTP servers
that send e-mails do not have an authentication feature.
Therefore, the camera uses the authentication of a POP
server that receives e-mails, before sending e-mails.
– POP3 Server
IP Address or
Host Name
If you set a server IP address, set 4
numbers (0—255) and 3 periods, such as

"192.168.0.253". Note that "0.0.0.0" and
:
"255.255.255.255" are not available. Or
set a host name (0—255 characters).
– Port No.: Enter a number (1—65535). Usually set
to 110.
– Login ID*2:
If your ISP requires a login ID to log in to
a POP3 server, set it (1—63 characters).
– Password*2: If your ISP requires a password to log in to
a POP3 server, set it (0—63 characters).
• SMTP authentication: Users are authenticated by user
name and password on the SMTP server. Your ISP must
support the SMTP authentication. The supported SMTP
authentications of the camera are the LOGIN and PLAIN
authentications. The CRAM-MD5 authentication is not
supported.
– Login ID*2: If your ISP requires a login ID to log in to
an SMTP server, set it (1—63 characters).
– Password*2: If your ISP requires a password to log in to
an SMTP server, set it (0—63 characters).

[For BL-C30] Setting the Motion Detection
The threshold and sensitivity can be adjusted for the Motion Detection on the
Motion Detection page.
Threshold: If the threshold is set low, this function detects nearly all movements.
Sensitivity: If you set sensitivity high, the amplitude of the motion detection bar gets
jumpy.
1. Click [Motion Detection] on the Setup page.
2. Click the Motion Detection bar in Threshold to set the threshold level.
3. Click the Motion Detection bar in Sensitivity to set the sensitivity level.
4. Click [Save] to save the settings.
• Clicking [Cancel] cancels your settings without saving changes.
5. Click [Go to Motion Detection page].
• The Motion Detection page is displayed.
Setting Description
Threshold • Adjusts the threshold for Motion Detection. As the value is
set lower, the sensor will detect motions of smaller
changes.
Sensitivity • Adjusts the sensitivity for Motion Detection. As the value is
set higher, the amplitude of the Motion Detection bar will
become greater.
Preview
Display the current threshold and detection level.
• The threshold is the line between the green and red bar.
• The detection level is the line between the dark red and light red color.

Note
• The Threshold and Sensitivity settings are enabled after saving, and
reflected in preview.
• The Click to Center feature is available.
Note
No responsibility will be taken by our company with respect to consequences
resulting from the use of the Motion Detection feature. The Motion Detection
feature is not suitable and not recommended for uses that require a high
reliability constantly such as surveillance, etc.
Threshold
[What is the threshold?]
The threshold is the minimum value for the camera to detect motions on the
image during the motion detection buffering. Setting the threshold lower allows
subtler changes to be detected. Setting the threshold higher allows only bigger
changes that might occupy half the image to be detected.
12
Page 13
Additional Feature Guide
[What is the sensitivity?]
The sensitivity is the level of brightness detected as motion by the camera. A
high sensitivity setting enables the camera to detect slight brightness changes.
Lower the sensitivity to make the camera detect only big brightness changes.
Threshold
setting is
displayed.
The detection level exceeds the
threshold when motions are
detected.
Note
Lowering the threshold and increasing sensitivity enables the camera to
detect slight movements easily.
Note
• Motion Detection is activated by changes in the outline of objects and
brightness changes. This feature is designed to alleviate false detections
due to overall brightness changes caused by sunlight. But in some cases,
the camera may falsely detect rapid brightness changes by artificial light
such as fluorescent light. In other cases, the motion detection function on
the Network Camera Recorder may detect objects and brightness
changes. The way to detect motion differs between the camera and the
Network Camera Recorder. Additionally, if the object's color is similar to
the color of the background, motion can be hard to detect.
• The detection level depends on the object, resolution, or image quality.
Confirm the condition on the Preview window following the procedure
above.
