Mode - You can chose to have each camera
take a snapshot based on Timing or
Trigger
Image Size - D1 produces an image twice
the size of CIF . You can chose to
use a different format for snapshots
than the format that camera is
configured to record video.
Image Quality - With a range of 1 to 4, this
controls the quality of the snapshot(s).
A setting of “4” provides better
images, but at an increased file size.
You may have to lower the quality
if the file size exceeds your e-mail
in-box’s capacity.
Snapshot Frequency - This will allow you to
take 1-7 shots in sequence.
Each camera can be individually configured.
These settings are what will be used when
you enable the Snapshot feature in any
window that offers that option. Examples
are highlighted with Red Boxes in Pictures
5-18, 5-19 and 5-20.
NOTE! It is possible to have
the Snapshot feature set to
occur both on schedule and
when triggered by an event
such as Motion Detection.
The triggered activation will take priority
over the scheduled event.
