Setup of the
“FTP alarm sending”
menu is very similar to setting up the
“Email alarm Sending”, s
o we don't
explain the
“Snapshot from”, “Snapshot duration”, Snapshot frame rate”, “Alarm interval”
again here.
FTP Server:
At a minimum you need the IP address (FTP server name) for your FTP server. The port is almost
always 21, and typical servers need a username and password which means “Anonymous” should be set to “No”.
The setting of “passive mode” and Keep Alive is dependent on your server. If you don’t know what to put there,
try both settings for passive mode and 3600 seconds (one hour) for keep alive.
FTP Alarm Management:
Most settings are almost identical to the email alarm management. You do not need to
specify a remote path unless you want to keep the files organized into folders. In that case you’d need to make
sure the spelling of your path is identical to the name of your folder on the server.
“Remote Path”
is an optional setting to specify a folder on the FTP server. If you decide to use this feature, you
have to make sure that the folder exists on the FTP server with the exact same spelling.
FTP Periodic Sending
Instead of using motion detection
“FTP alarm sending”
, you can also use the
“FTP Periodic sending”
menu to
upload pictures at regular time intervals.
“FTP Periodic Sending”
menu is very similar to setting up the
“FTP Alarm Sending”
, so it’s not explained here.
The
“Period Interval”
allow you to designate a time (in seconds or minutes or hours) during which new emails are
suppressed. For example, if you want to avoid a flood of emails, you could set this time to 60 minutes so that you
wouldn’t get any new emails for 1 hour.
Note:The menu option for “HTTP alarm sending” and “ HTTP Periodic sending” are not explained here since
HTTP servers are only used by network professionals.
