Images from up to four different cameras can be retrieved. The images do not need to reside on the same FTP server. This window will allow the selection of images residing on a single server for retrieval. The selection process must be repeated for other servers that may contain images from other cameras. Enter the FTP server Internet address to which the images are delivered by the camera. Enter the user ID and password for this server. This server address, user ID, and password will be the same entries as made in the Observer’s Network Settings page. Click on the Connect button. The application will access the server and display the contents. The directory tree may have to be navigated to get to the destination folder. Opening the folder will
display all the files it contains. Observer image files will have check boxes next to them. Locate the image(s) that are being generated by the Observer camera(s) and select those boxes. Click on the Open button. The application will download the selected images and begin checking for new ones, update the display and archive the images if enabled. Repeat the process for any images that may reside on a different server. Note that the application is limited to retrieving and displaying images from only four Observer cameras.
An image from each camera of interest must already reside on the server for this selection process to function. Once an Observer camera is properly configured, successfully running the “Image Delivery Test” will leave an image on the FTP server, allowing subsequent selection by the FTPJPG application. Run this test to place an initial image on the server.
Note also that proper operation of the camera with the FTPJPG application requires that the camera be configured to produce images with a ‘constant’ name type. This selection is found on the System Settings page on the camera and must be selected if the FTPJPG application is to be used.
