If you prefer, you can have the pictures uploaded to DropBox or an FTP server
instead of an email address. To do this, go to the
“Task Manager”
menu and
either click on task 3
“FTP alarm sending”
or task 4
“FTP periodic sending”
,
depending on whether you want to send images upon motion detection or
based on elapsed time such as every few minutes.
Note: Both DropBox and FTP are enabled in the FTP task management menus,
and in both cases the setup is very similar to the email task management.
Snapshot From / Duration / Frame Rate / Alarm Interval:
These settings are
identical to the corresponding settings in the email task management menu.
If you select DropBox in any of the FTP menus, the
“Authorization”
button
opens up a new browser tab or window to allow you to enter your DropBox
account info. If you don’t see the new tab or window, please make sure your
browser does not have a popup blocker enabled during this setup.
If you select FTP instead of DropBox, you’ll need to fill in the
FTP Server Name
and
Port
fields.
Do not add any extra spaces, and do not add ftp:// or anything
else in front of the server name or IP. The
FTP server port
is almost always 21.
Authentication:
Most FTP servers need a username and password which
means “Authentication” should be set to “
Yes
”. Make sure the username /
password are spelled correctly including all uppercase/lowercase letters. Do
not use usernames and passwords with spaces or punctuation, or anything
more than 22 characters long.
Remote path
: No need to specify a remote path unless you want to keep the
files organized into folders. In that case you’d make sure the spelling of your
path is identical to the name of the preexisting folder on the server, and that
your account has read/write/delete rights for that folder. If in doubt, leave the
path totally blank and the files go into your account’s default folder.
If you maintain your own web page there is a neat feature available by setting
the
“Suffix of file name”
to
“None”
. This allows you to upload a file with the
exact same file name every time there is motion. If you then reference that file
name in your web page it will always show the latest available picture.
Please note that the menu option for
HTTP task management
servers is not
explained here since HTTP servers are only used by network professionals.
The following chapters will show even more possibilities for tasks. For
example, you can use motion detection or time periods to initiate the
recording of video or snapshots to MicroSD card.
