Additional Feature Guide 11 [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. 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. SettingDescription 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.
Additional Feature Guide 12 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. [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. Threshold
Additional Feature Guide 13 [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. 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 objects 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. Threshold setting is displayed.The detection level exceeds the threshold when motions are detected.

Clicking [Cancel] cancels your settings without saving changes. 4.Click [Go to Sensor Log page].
Additional Feature Guide 15 Note When the settings are saved, the number of new sensor logs becomes 0. The camera works only with an SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) server. It does not work with mail servers like Hotmail® that use a web browser. SettingDescription A setup of operation Sensor log operation can be set here. Time Set the day of the week and time to send sensor logs via E-mail. SMTP Server IP Address or Host Name *1 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 (1—255 characters). Po r t N o. Enter a number (1—65535). Usually set to 25. Reply E-mail Address*2 Set the senders E-mail address.

Additional Feature Guide 16 How to authenticateThe 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 e- mail. 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 *1: If you set a server IP address, set 4 numbers (0—255) and 3 periods, such as 192.168.0.253.

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). *1Note that [Space], [], [], [&], [] are not available.*2Note that [] is not available.
