How Long a Link Remains Accessible 

For documentation purposes, the one who opens and sends the URL of 
the Primary Standalone Live Preview window is called 

User A and the 

two recipients of the same URL link are called 

User B and C. 

User C is able to access the snapshot or video image via the link when 
the URL link remains valid, which can be one of these scenarios: 

 

The Primary Standalone Live Preview window remains open on User 
A's computer. If so, even though User A logs out of the PX3 or the 
login session times out, the link remains accessible. 

 

User B's Secondary Standalone Live Preview window remains open. 
If so, even though User A already closes the Primary Standalone Live 
Preview window, the link remains accessible. 

 

Neither User A's Primary Standalone Live Preview window nor User 
B's Secondary Standalone Live Preview window remains open, but it 
has not exceeded two minutes yet after the final live preview window 
session was closed. 

Note: The link is no longer valid after two minutes since the final live 
preview window is closed. 

 

Viewing and Managing Locally-Saved Snapshots 

This section describes the operation for snapshots saved onto the PX3 
device only. To access snapshots saved onto remote servers, you must 
use appropriate third-party applications, such as an FTP client, to 
access them. 

When saving a snapshot, it is stored locally on the PX3 device by default. 
For snapshot-saving operations, see 

Configuring Webcams and 

Viewing Live Images

 (on page 480). 

Up to 10 snapshots can be stored onto the PX3. The oldest snapshot is 
automatically overridden by the newest one when the total of snapshots 
exceeds 10, if no snapshots are deleted manually. 

When there are more than one webcam connected, then the oldest 
snapshot of the webcam "with the most snapshots" is overridden. 

Tip: To save more than 10 snapshots, you must change the storage 
location from the PX3 to an FTP or Common Internet File System 
(CIFS)/Samba server. See 

Changing Storage Settings

 (on page 488). 

Snapshots are saved as JPG files, and named based on the sequential 
numbers, such as 

1.jpg, 2.jpg, 3.jpg and the like. 

Warning: Rebooting the PX3 deletes all webcam snapshots that are
