Log Windows

The Log windows let you set up and view the IP camera log file, which captures information about the IP camera and its activities.

The IP camera stores the log file in its internal SDRAM. If the SDRAM becomes full, the IP camera begins to overwrite existing information. To avoid losing log information, you can configure the IP camera to send log information to a Syslog server.

Caution Because the logs are stored in the internal camera SDRAM, all existing logs in the camera will be lost after a camera reboot, power-up, or power-down.

The following sections describe the Log windows in detail:

•Log Setup Settings Window, page 3-36

•Local Log Window, page 3-38
