FTP Push
On the Event Management page, events can be set to trigger an FTP push. When such an event
occurs, the unit posts a camera image on one or two FTP servers. A target server must hold a
user account associated with the unit. If you assign two servers, images are posted
simultaneously to FTP server 1 and FTP server 2.
