5.1 Transmit an alarm image at an alarm occurrence
(Alarm image transmission)
An alarm image can be transmitted at an alarm occurrence to the FTP server. To transmit alarm images to an
FTP server, it is necessary to configure the settings in advance.
FTP server settings and settings relating to alarm image transmission can be configured in the “FTP” section
of the [Advanced] tab of the “Network” page. (
®
page 161) Settings can also be configured from the “Alarm
image FTP transmission” settings of “Camera action on alarm” on the [Alarm] tab of the “Alarm” page.
(
Note
•
Depending on the network traffic, the number of the transmitted images may not reach the set number
of images to be transmitted.
•
Alarm images failed to be transmitted to the FTP server at an alarm occurrence will not be saved on
the SD memory card. However, images that fail to be transmitted with the FTP periodic image
transmission will be saved.
When “On” is selected for both the alarm image transmission function and the FTP periodic image
transmission function, the alarm image transmission function will be given priority over the FTP periodic
image transmission function. Also, when “On” is selected for the “FTP transmission retry” FTP setting
(
page 162), alarm images will be retransmitted if there is an FTP transmission failure. Therefore, if
there is continuous retransmission due to network problems or other factors, periodic transmission will
not be performed and images that fail to be transmitted with the FTP periodic image transmission will
not be saved to an SD memory card.
5.2 Transmit images at a designated interval or
period (FTP periodic image transmission)
Images can be transmitted at a designated interval or period. To transmit images at a designated interval or
period, it is necessary to configure the settings in advance.

in the “FTP” section of the [Advanced] tab of the “Network” page. (

•
When “On” is selected for both the alarm image transmission function and the FTP periodic image
transmission function, the alarm image transmission function will be given priority over the FTP periodic
image transmission function. Therefore, images may not be transmitted at the interval designated on
the “FTP periodic image transmission” setting.
