AC Power
In this case, you can simply connect the MR3000SB to the main power. This solution is highly
recommended.
4.2.3.
DC power
On request, the MR3000SB may be powered also by DC power, as for example external power as
solar panels. The voltage is from 10 to 36 V.
4.3 Additional services
This section describes the download of files from the SB without using the interactive method in the
tab
Recording List
in the WebUI (see Section 5.7)
4.3.1.
Embedded SFTP server.
The SB has an embedded SFTP server that allows you to easily download events and background
files from the device to your computer. SFTP stands for Secure File Transfer Protocol (FTP using
SSH connection).
Do not mix up the SFTP server described here with the FTP send service described in Section
5.3.7. FTP send pushes the files in given time intervals to a remote server, the SFTP server allows
you to interactively download the files on your PC.
To use SFTP you must install a SFTP
client
on your PC. Then you connect to the SB (which is the
server
), and you can browse the events and background files. The login and password you need to
know are:
Login:
user
Password (default):
serial number of the MR
NOTE:
Every SFTP client has a refresh button somewhere. When you browse through the
content of the SB, and you don't see the files that are supposed to be there, just click the
refresh button.
Below you will find a list of SFTP clients with a quick explanation on how to use it. All these
software are free, and widely available on the Internet.
4.3.1.1 FireFTP
If you are using Firefox as Web browser, this is the favored SFTP client. You have to install the add-
on FireFTP. This SFTP client is directly integrated into your Web browser.
To install it, launch Firefox, and click on
Tools->Add-ons
. Then choose and install FireFTP, and
restart Firefox. Then you need to add a button for a convenient access to FireFTP: just click on
View->Toolbars->Customize
, find the FireFTP button, and drag/drop it to the toolbar somewhere.
Click on this button now, the FireFTP tab will appear. Select “
Create an account
”.
