SentryCam Tour
Tutorial #3.1 - SentryCam's Options - Modem Setup Tab
The Modem Setup tab contains two main areas: The Modem
Option and the Modem Port.
Each of these allow you to set the appropriate watching type for SentryCam.
This option displays three separate selections. You can select only one of these options.
Auto Monitor Comm Port for Activity when SentryCam Starts - This option tells SentryCam that when SentryCam starts, you want SentryCam to begin immediately watching the Comm port for any modem activity. PLEASE NOTE: since SentryCam does not know what function you may be using your modem for, if you use your modem as a fax machine, it will begin taking screen shots while sending your fax.
Start taking screen shots automatically regardless of Modem Activity - This option tells SentryCam that you want to take screen shots from the moment SentryCam starts. This allows those on Cable or DSL Internet services to use SentryCam. Set this option if you use one of those services or if you want SentryCam to take screen shots of all activity on your computer.
Do not monitor Comm Port and do not start taking screen shots - This option tells SentryCam that you don't want to take screen shots when it starts and you don't want to monitor the Comm Port. This option is useful for temporary changes to your system and for faxing purposes. If you will be installing software, or faxing documents using your modem, you can select this option and when SentryCam boots backup again, it will ignore the Comm port and not take any shots unless you start it manually using the Start button on the main screen.
This option displays two separate selections. You can select only one of these options.
Select Modem Port - This allows you to manually watch a specific Comm port for activity. Use this option if the Auto Detection feature fails to find your modem and you know the port that it resides on.
Detect Modem Port - This option will enable the Detect button which will begin the process of automatically detecting your modem port. When it finds it, SentryCam will place that information in the Currently Detected Port text box. You cannot key any information into that text box.
