Setup of the
FTP alarm sending
menu is very similar to setting up the
Email alarm Sending/Email periodic
sending, s
o we don't explain the
Snapshot from, Snapshot duration, Snapshot frame rate, Alarm interval,
Image file name, Suffix of file name
again here.
1.
Snapshot from
--- Select snapshot stream source which can be “Primary stream” , “Secondary stream”
and “ Mobile Stream” . For smaller pictures you can select from “Secondary stream”.
2.
Snapshot Duration--
The number of seconds that the camera should keep sending emails with attached
image after motion stops.
3.
Snapshot Frame Rate
-- The number of frames per seconds that the camera should keep sending images
at when an alarm is triggered. If “Snapshot duration” had a value of 4 and “snapshot frame rate” had a
value of 2, you would be getting 2 images each second for 4 seconds in a row, meaning 8 pictures total
for each motion detection event.
4.
Alarm Interval--
This is the number of seconds for which the camera should stop sending e-mail alerts
after the first set. Setting the time to 0 disables this feature. It allows you to designate a time (in
seconds) during which new emails are suppressed. For example, if you want to avoid a flood of emails,
you could set this time to 3600 seconds so that after a motion detection event you wouldn’t get any
new emails for at least 1 hour.
5.
[FTP server name]
Type the name or IP address of the FTP server. At a minimum you need the IP
address (FTP server name) for your FTP server. The port is almost always 21, and typical servers need a
username and password which means “Authentication” should be set to “Yes”.
6.
[FTP server port]
The port number of the FTP server (default is 21).
7.
[Remote path]
Input the file directory. It is an optional setting to specify a folder on the FTP server. If
you decide to use this feature, you have to make sure that the folder exists on the FTP server with the
exact same spelling.
8.
[Authentication]
Select whether authentication is required by the FTP server. Choose “No” for
anonymous access.
9.
[User name]
Type your FTP user name.
10.
[Password]
Type your FTP password.
11.
[Re-type password]
Re-type your password.
12.
Click
Apply
to confirm your settings.
Instead of using motion detection in
“FTP alarm sending”
, you can also use the
“FTP Periodic sending”
menu to upload pictures at regular time intervals.
[
Period Interval]--
Time interval between snapshots. It allows you to designate a time (in seconds or
minutes or hours) during which new emails are suppressed. For example, if you want to avoid a flood of
emails, you could set this time to 60 minutes so that you wouldn’t get any new emails for 1 hour.
