6) Application Configuration This page is used to set e-mail and file transmission function. (1) Recipient E-mail Address This is used to designate a person to receive E-mail. (2) Sender’s E-mail Address This is used to put a person’s e-mail address that is considered as the e-mail sender. This menu plays an important role since this is used for avoiding the problem that e-mails are blocked by some mail servers.
mail is sent when the sensor1 detects events. (To use sensor input detection, a sensor should be connected to DX-VS1UE. If administrator clicks on periodic sending, e-mail is sent periodically every preset time. The interval may be modified.) File name: Regarding the file name of images sent in MD or Sensor event, the file name is decided combining all options. Regarding the file name image sent in periodic sending event, administrator can decide how to name image files among three methods.
(6) FTP event configuration Administrator can set transmission conditions, image resolution, and file name. The setting method of image resolution, filename, and transmission conditions of FTP is the same as that of e-mail. Transmission Performance of E-mail and FTP ! DX-VS1UE can send e-mail once per five minutes at most in case administrator set DX-VS1UE to send e-mail periodically. If there were no restriction in sending e-mail, DX-VS1UE might cause a serious problem to the recipient’s mail server.
(3) Advanced Pan/tilt/zoom Configuration You can register preset points and set mode. When you register preset, you should stop other users from controlling pan/ tilt/zoom mechanism. For controlling Pan/tilt/zoom mechanism, please refer to Chapter IV “Accessing DX-VS1UE Homepage & Monitoring Real-time Image.” New Preset You register a new preset point as follows. You can register up to 64 presets. ! Focus on a certain point to register as a preset point controlling Pan/tilt/zoom mechanism.
set points appear. At the bottom of this window, you can check if the selected number is occupied or not. Mode Configuration There are three modes: “Normal Mode”, “Swing Mode” and “Group Mode.” ! In the normal mode, user can control pan/tilt/ zoom mechanism of an external camera through the dvr/ptz control page. ! If the swing mode is selected, the connected pan/tilt/zoom camera swings between two preset points. Time duration of “Wait (some) seconds” signifies the same meaning that of group mode.
