23.3 Configuration Process
1. Determine what will trigger the capture of an image or video. Options are:
a. Time – Enable and configure Self-Timed Capture 1, Self Timed Capture 2, or
both.
b. External Signal – Enable and configure the External Trigger Capture.
c. Motion Detect – Enable and configure Motion Detect Capture.
2. Select the Power Mode that best suits your requirements (see Table 23-1 Power
Mode Summary). Options are:
a. Fully On – Used if no power contraints exist or if high performance is
required.
b. Partially On – Provides substantial reduction in power (especially with the
Ethernet Power Mode set to Full Power Save).
c. Deep Sleep – Provides very good power savings. The camera does not need to
reboot when activated by a trigger. Recommended to use if more than 24 trigeers
are expected per day.
