Upload Video/snapshot and Audio checkbox: this decides if this rule is in effect, or 

disabled. Sometimes it is useful to keep the settings for troubleshooting purposes, 

but keep them as disabled. 

 

Upload Media to: these define the task at hand, and change the field that needs to be 

filled out. 

 
Upload Period: IP device will provide video/snapshots for the number of seconds here. 

It  will  stop  uploading  video/snapshot  at  the  end  of  this  period.  If  you  have  video 

management  software  recording  from  this  camera  at  the  same  time,  the  normal 

recording through NVR will not be affected, and goes on throughout the event period 

and afterwards. But the special upload session will end as the event ends. 

 
Image during Upload Period: This is used only by snapshots. This tells the camera 

how many snapshots it should attempt to capture during the Upload Time. If  this 

value is set to 0, then the IP device will attempt to capture as many snapshots as 

possible. Depending upon the device loading, the number of snapshots taken may 

not reach the number you specified.   

 
Pre-Buffer Time: This is only used by video. If this is set to more than 0, then the IP 

device will start to buffer video in its internal memory. The maximum pre buffer is 

10 seconds. When an event requires video upload, the IP device will first upload the 

video taken right before the event then keep uploading until it reaches the upload 

time. 

 
Image File Name/ Upload Path: You will need to specify rule for file names and upload 

paths (upload path is not needed for Email. Just put a slash 

“

/

”

 in the field). The rules 

contain flexible parameters. A sample rule and corresponding filename will look like 

this:   

     

Front_Door_%YYYY_%MM_%DD@%hh%mm%ss     

    

[email protected] 

 

  Upload  Path  folders  may  also  be  named  dynamically.  For  the  IP  device  to  create 

folders on FTP and HTTP CGI servers properly, your FTP/CGI account will need to 

have permission to create folders. For syntax on auto naming, please see online help 

or the inset box at the end of this section. 

  The symbol 

“

%

”

 cannot be the first character in filename or upload path. Please use 

either an alphabet or a number as the starting character. For Upload Path, be sure to 

start and end eith a backslash

“

\

”

. An example will be : \Backgate%MM%DD\
