12.4 Network Menu - FTP

The FTP sub-menu allows you to connect your recorder to an FTP server (File
Transfer Protocol) so that you can schedule uploads of snapshots and video
footage. 

This handy feature gives you extra protection as it allows you to automatically save a
copy of your CCTV footage. The FTP server could even be off-site for maximum
security with your footage saved in 2 locations.

After configuring your FTP settings you will need to set up an 

FTP Schedule

 so the

recorder knows what to upload to your FTP server and when.

Enabling The FTP Upload Feature

You can enable or disable FTP uploads by ticking or unticking the 

FTP Enable

check box.

Server IP

This needs to be the IP address of the FTP server you are wanting to connect to.

Port

This needs to be your FTP server port. By default this will be set to 

21

 as this

standard port used for most FTP servers. You can usually leave this as it is.
