Event Setup
In a typical application, when motion is detected, the DCS-6210 sends images to a FTP server or via e-mail as notications. As shown in the
illustration below, an event can be triggered by many sources, such as motion detection. When an event is triggered, a specied action will be
performed. You can congure the Network Camera to send snapshots or videos to your e-mail address or FTP site.
To start plotting an event, it is suggested to congure server and media columns rst so that the Network Camera will know what action shall be
performed when a trigger is activated.
