Referring to FIG. 10, the screen 2200 for setting the parameters of the DVS application 242 is illustrated. Communications over the local area network 2200 between the camera 210 and command computer 240 are established using a MAC address of the camera 210 and/or an IP address 2224 for the camera. The default port 2226 for communications is 80. The camera 210 recognizes an encrypted username and password 2202. The DVS application 242 encrypts the username 2224 and the password 2222, using the generator 2203, resulting in the encrypted version 2202. The hierarchical structure of the member devices of the wireless network is defined in 2220, 2219 and 2205. The command computer 240 designated is named “Server”, as shown in the Username textbox 2221. The client port for uploading audio files 2219 is given as port 5999. An example of a client is a pocket PC 260 or cell phone 277 having a web browser. The listener port 2205 for down loading audio files is port 5998. The camera 210 has access to the audio files in a network-shared folder having a designated path 2220. When a greeting/verbal response is triggered by the motion sensor 220, the file is read from the shared folder 2220. Audio files received by the command computer 240 from the camera 210 are saved in the audio capture folder 2218. The received audio files can be accessed by the client, pocket PC 260, or cell phone 277, as well as the command computer 240. The door reset time 2216 is a parameter that designates the length of time in seconds that must pass after the motion sensor 220 no longer detects a visitor before a recording is stopped. The door audio record timer 2212 is the length of a visitor's message in seconds. The default video archived frames 2209 is the number of images or frames that are saved as an archived file. The archived video file 2216 can be played back at various speeds. The archived video loop frame rate 2216 is in frames per millisecond. Recall that the camera is capable of generating 30 frames, or 30,000 frames per millisecond. This feature 2216 allows the video to be slowed down. If the administrator wishes to cut off archiving audio files, the administrator can select this in box 2213. If the administrator wishes to cut off archiving video files, the administrator can select this in box 2209. The audio files can be turned off completely by using the audio playback parameter 2215. The DVS application 242 can be set to send a message to a cell phone or another computer. The phone email trigger 2207 sets this parameter, and the email address is entered into phone email address parameter 2207. The DVS enables different greetings/verbal responses to issue depending on pre-set criteria. The time of day is one criterion. As shown in FIG. 10, there are three audio files: “cats.wav” 2208 a, “creek.wav” 2208 b and “dracwelcome.wav” 2208 c, each of which will be triggered depending on the time of day. Pairs of boxes 2210 a are set from 7 to 12, text boxes 2210 b are set from 13 to 17, and text boxes 2210 c are set from 18 to 6. At 13 hours, or 1 PM, the greeting switches from “cats.wav” 2208 a to “creek.wavfl 2208 b, and at 6 PM the greeting switches from “creek.wav” 2208 b to “dracwelcome.wav” 2208 c. As will be discussed below, additional options also exist for playing the audio files.
