Mail The camera can send an e-mail via Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) when motion is detected. SMTP is a protocol for sending e-mail messages between servers. SMTP is a relatively simple, text-based protocol, where one or more recipients of a message are specified and the message text is transferred. The configuration page is shown as follows: Two sets of SMTP accounts can be configured. Each set includes SMTP Server, Account Name, Password and E-mail Address settings.
Motion Detection When motion detection is activated, the Motion pop-up window will open.

Video Compression You can select an MJPEG/H.264 compression mode on the video compression page appropriate for your application. You can also select to display compression information on the Home page.
Video OCX Protocol Frame Rate Control On the Video OCX protocol page, you can select different protocols for streaming media over the network. In the case of multicast networking, you can select the Multicast mode. Setting the camera to transmit fewer frames can save bandwidth. Use the Frame Rate Control to adjust the camera’s frame settings if necessary.
Video Mask Camera You can use the video mask page to define a privacy mask to keep users from viewing parts of the image. Exposure You can add two privacy masks and choose a color to obscure the live view from users. The exposure is the amount of light received by the image sensor and is determined by the width of lens diaphragm opening (iris adjustment), the amount of exposure by the sensor (shutter speed) and other exposure parameters.
White Balance Contrast A camera needs to find reference color temperature, which is a way of measuring the quality of a light source, for calculating all the other colors. The unit for measuring this ratio is in degree Kelvin (K). Users can select one of the White Balance Control modes according to the operating environment. The following table shows the color temperature of some light sources for reference. Correct the contrast of the entire image by adjusting the Contrast level, ranging from -6 ~ +19.
