Configure System via FTP

Administrators can use FTP to configure Network Camera much quicker than Web page especially for multiple targets. To configure system via FTP, first download the parameter file, CONFIG.INI, to customize each field according to the environment and then upload back to validate the new settings. To log into the FTP daemon, enter “root” as the user name and the same password used when connecting to the Web server. The serial number of Network Camera is the password for the initial access.

The file is composed of eight categories: [SYSTEM], [LAYOUT], [NETWORK], [VIDEO], [ALERT], and [DEMO]. The category name in brackets should be in upper case. The item name in angle braces should be in lower case. Some items related to disable/enable should use the keywords “YES”/“NO”. The number zero entry in <user name> and <user password> is for administrators, i.e. “root”. Basically Network Camera will restart automatically as soon as the file is accepted. If administrators want to cancel the reboot procedure, set the first item, <reset system> to NO. It will take effect once only and always show YES in the download file.

A sample CONFIG.INI is attached below. The italic text following each line describes the characteristic of the field and the bold italic characters are the options of the field.
