Motion Detection
Motion detection enables the camera to monitor the video feed for movement. Here, you can specify what part of the image to monitor for motion
and adjust the sensitivity settings that determine whether motion is detected by the camera or not. After making any changes, click the Save

Select this box to enable the motion detection feature
of your camera.
Note: If you do not draw an area to monitor for motion,
motion will not be detected by the camera.
Species how sensitive motion detection will be from
0% to 100%. A low sensitivity setting means that there
must be large changes between two images in order to
detect motion, and a high sensitivity setting means that
even small changes will cause motion to be detected.
Use your mouse to click and drag on the areas that you
would like to monitor for motion.
To erase a motion detection area, simply click on the red
square that you wish to remove.
Right click on the camera image to bring up the following
menu options:
Select All: Draws a motion detection area over the
entire screen.

Event Setup
The DCS-1201 has a versatile event system that lets you congure the camera to perform certain actions when an event occurs. For example,
when motion is detected, you can have snapshots sent to an FTP server or e-mail address. You can also congure the camera to take regular video
recordings according to a schedule you dene.
Before setting up an evevnt, you will need to specify the following:
Server: This is a destination for media to be sent to, such as an e-mail address or FTP server.
Media: This is the media that will be sent, such as snapshots, video clips, or a system log.
You can then set up Events and Recordings:
Event: This is the actual trigger event that the camera is monitoring for, and the action that it will take. Event triggers include motion
detection, loss of network connection, system reboot, and other events.
Recording: This lets you set up a schedule for regular video recording.

Safety Instructions
Please adhere to the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and protect your system from potential damage. Any
acts taken that are inconsistent with ordinary use of the product, including improper testing, etc., and those not expressly approved by D-Link may
result in the loss of product warranty.
Unless expressly approved by an authorized representative of D-Link in writing, you may not and may not permit others to:
• Disassemble or reverse engineer the device or attempt to derive source code (underlying ideas, algorithms, or structure) from
the device or from any other information provided by D-Link, except to the extent that this restriction is expressly prohibited by
local law.
• Modify or alter the device.
• Remove from the device any product identication or other notices, including copyright notices and patent markings, if any.
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electrical shock, re, and damage to the device and other equipment, observe the following precautions:
Power Sources
• Observe and follow service markings.
• Do not push any objects into the openings of your device unless consistent with the authorized operation of the device. Doing
so can cause a re or an electrical shock by shorting out interior components.
• The powering of this device must adhere to the power specications indicated for this product.
• Do not overload wall outlets and/or extension cords as this will increase the risk of re or electrical shock.
• Do not rest anything on the power cord or on the device (unless the device is made and expressly approved as suitable for stacking).
• Position system cables and power cables carefully; route cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over. Be sure that
nothing rests on any cables.
• Operate the device only from the type of external power source indicated on the electrical ratings label.
• To help avoid damaging your device, be sure the voltage selection switch (if provided) on the power supply is set to match the
power available at your location.
• Also be sure that attached devices are electrically rated to operate with the power available in your location.
• Use only approved power cable(s). If you have not been provided a power cable for your device or for any AC -powered option
intended for your device, purchase a power cable that is approved for use in your country and is suitable for use with your device.
The power cable must be rated for the device and for the voltage and current marked on the device's electrical ratings label. The
voltage and current rating of the cable should be greater than the ratings marked on the device.
• To help prevent an electrical shock, plug the device and peripheral power cables into properly grounded electrical outlets. These
cables are equipped with three-prong plugs to help ensure proper grounding. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding
prong from a cable. If you must use an extension cable, use a 3-wire cable with properly grounded plugs.
• Observe extension cable and power strip ratings. Ensure that the total ampere rating of all products plugged into the extension
cable or power strip does not exceed 80 percent of the ampere ratings limit for the extension cable or power strip.
66D-Link DCS-1201 User Manual
Appendix B: Regulatory Information
• To help protect your device from sudden, transient increases and decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line
conditioner, or uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
• Do not modify power cables or plugs. Consult a licensed electrician or your power company for site modications. Always follow
your local/national wiring rules.
• When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies, if oered with your device, observe the following
guidelines.
• Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power supply.
• Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply.
• If the system has multiple sources of power, disconnect power from the device by unplugging all power cables from the power
supplies.
Servicing/Disassembling

Protecting Against Electrostatic Discharge
Static electricity can harm delicate components inside your system. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before
you touch any of the electronic components, such as the microprocessor. You can do so by periodically touching an unpainted metal surface on
the chassis.
You can also take the following steps to help prevent damage from electrostatic discharge (ESD):
1. When unpacking a static-sensitive component from its shipping carton, do not remove the component from the antistatic packing
material until you are ready to install the component in your system. Just before unwrapping the antistatic packaging, be sure
to discharge static electricity from your body.
2. When transporting a sensitive component, rst place it in an antistatic container or packaging.
3. Handle all sensitive components in a static-safe area. If possible, use antistatic oor pads, workbench pads, and an antistatic
grounding strap.
