User Interface (continued):

Optimization allows you to flip the image and change exposure if you want manual control. Under the Event Detection you can choose which device is detecting the motion or audio event. For motion you have the ability to change the sensitivity and the detection area.

Once this event detection is configured you can also configure alerts to come via email, SMS, or push notifications. This is initially accessed by clicking the Main Menu, then Notifications. If this is something you use frequently you can always drag it to your desktop. Setting this up though, I ran into a little difficulty. When I tried to use Gmail as the service provider I got a message from Google indicating that an unknown device was blocked because it was using a less secure app to connect. Even when I tried to acknowledge this was me, I still could not get the emails to come through. However I was able to set this up easily through Yahoo!. You can also choose to send a thumbnail of the event captured which can be very helpful.

The Live View is just that, it allows you access to the current feed from your camera(s). It also gives you PTZ controls. The Timeline gives you access to all activities that were recorded. You can select the day from the calendar and then move the slider to the color coded areas to see the activities.

Under Recording you have access to all the videos created based on your settings as described above.

The mobile compliment to the Surveillance Station is DS cam. Once your camera(s) are configured as described you can link DS cam to log into your DS41Slim to view live feeds (single and multi), recordings, take snapshots, get general camera info and see notifications. This app does lack some of the features of the Surveillance Station, but it performs the task as intended. Most people wouldn’t want to try to optimize their cameras on a mobile device anyway.
