There are two ways of taking an image:
 Scheduled – This method uses the Digital Output #1 schedule control to take pictures at regular
intervals. Digital Output #1 is still triggered on the schedule, which means it can be used to control
external illumination for the camera.
 Remote – Use HydroTel™ to start a picture capture. Refer to the HydroTel documentation on how to
setup and use this feature.

Menu item 1: Yes.

Remote Picture Capture Settings
In this mode the iRIS-CAM will take a picture on request from a base station such as HydroTel™. There are
no iRIS based settings required for this mode. Picture capture will happen automatically and can be used in
conjunction with schedule mode.
Resolution of the remotely requested picture can be different to the scheduled one.
