Transferring MicroSD files to DropBox or an FTP server
If you do not have a locally connected NAS (network attached storage) drive
but still want to upload your recorded video files to a server, you can do that
with the new task management menu “Send files in storage to FTP server”.
This works with DropBox or online FTP servers such as DriveHQ.com
As with the direct uploads of snapshots described on page 39, you can choose
if you want the upload to go DropBox or an FTP server, and you would supply
your login information in the same way (i.e. by supplying the FTP server name,
username and password, or by selecting DropBox and then clicking the
camera’s “Authorize” button to add the DropBox specific login information).
“
Remote Path
” specifies the name of an existing, write-enabled folder on the
server. We recommend to keep this completely blank at first. After you see
some files being uploaded, you could specify the name of an existing folder,
and then the files should go into that folder if there are no typos.
Once successfully transferred, each original file on the MicroSD card is
deleted. To prevent files from piling up on the MicroSD card, the rate at which
the files can be transferred to your FTP server has to be much faster than the
rate at which new files are created, and therefore this feature is generally only
useful for motion detection recording. This allows the files to be transferred at
times when the camera is not detecting motion and creating new files.
For continuous video you would use settings as shown in the previous chapter
to record without FTP transfer. If the camera is multitasking and busy with
recording, sending or viewing, there could be interruptions in the recorded
audio and video. For best results, enable only the tasks you really need.
