media that will be sent when a trigger is activated. A total of five media settings can be configured. There
are three choices of media types available: Snapshot, Video Clip, and System log. Select the item to
display the detailed configuration options. You can configure either one or all of them.
Media type: Snapshot
Select to send snapshots when a trigger is activated.
• Media name—Enter a name for the media setting.
• Source—Select to take snapshots from any of the video streams.
• Send x pre-event images—The camera has a buffer to temporarily hold data up to a certain limit.
Enter a number to decide how many images to capture before a trigger is activated. Up to seven
images can be generated.
• Send x post-event images—Enter a number to decide how many images to capture after a trigger is
activated. Up to seven images can be generated. For example, if both the Send pre-event images and
Send post-event images are set to 7, a total of 15 images can be generated after a trigger is activated.
• File name prefix—Enter the text that will be appended to the front of the file name.
