NOTE:
A DNS server must be specified in the TCP/IP network settings if using a host
name.
- Port:
Enter the port number used by the FTP server. The default is 21.
- Use passive mode:
Under normal circumstances the network camera simply requests
the target FTP server to open the data connection. Checking this box issues a PASV
command to the FTP server and establishes a passive FTP connection, whereby the
network camera actively initiates both the FTP control and data connections to the
target server. This is normally desirable if there is a firewall between the camera and
the target FTP server.
- Remote directory:
Specify the path to the directory where the uploaded images will be
stored. If this directory does not already exist on the FTP server, there will be an error
message when uploading.
- User name/Password:
Provide your log-in information.

JPEG Setting:
- Pre-event:
A pre-event buffer contains images from the time immediately preceding the
event trigger. These are stored internally in the server. This buffer can be very useful
when checking to see what happened to cause the event trigger.
Check the box to enable the pre-trigger buffer, enter the desired total length in seconds,
minutes or hours, and specify the required image frequency.
- Post-event:
This function is the counterpart to the pre-trigger buffer described above
and contains images from the time immediately after the trigger. Configure as for pre-
event.
- Prefix file name:
This name will be used for all the image files saved. If suffixes are also
used, the file name will take the form <prefix>, <suffix>, <extension>.
- Additional suffix:
Add either a date/time suffix or a sequence number - with or without
a maximum value.
T
HTTP Server
When the network camera detects an event, the HTTP Server is used to receive uploaded
image files and/or notification messages. Check the box to enable the service.
