Transmit images onto an FTP server

Images can be transmitted to an FTP server. By configuring the following settings, transmission of images captured at an alarm occurrence or captured at a designated interval to an FTP server will become available.

Important:

When using this function, set the user name and the password to access the FTP server to restrict users who can log into the FTP server.

To transmit images to the FTP server, select "Not use" for "SD memory card", or select "FTP error" for "Save trig- ger" on the [SD memory card] tab of the "Basic" page.

Transmit an alarm image at an alarm occurrence (Alarm image transmission)

An alarm image can be transmitted at an alarm occurrence to the FTP server. To transmit alarm images to an FTP server, it is necessary to configure the settings in advance.

The settings for the FTP server can be configured on the [FTP] tab of the "Server" page. (Setup Instructions) The alarm image transmission function can be turned on/off in the "Alarm image" section of the [Alarm] tab of the "Alarm" page. (Setup Instructions)

Note:

Depending on the network traffic, the number of the transmitted images may not reach the set number of images to be transmitted.

Transmit images at a designated interval or period (FTP periodic transmission)

Images can be transmitted at a designated interval or period. To transmit images at a designated interval or period, it is necessary to configure the settings in advance.

The settings for the FTP server to which images are to be transmitted can be configured on the [FTP] tab of the "Server" page. (Setup Instructions)

On the [FTP img. trans.] tab of the "Network" page (Setup Instructions), the FTP periodic transmission function can be turned on/off, and the settings relating to images to be transmitted and the settings relating to schedules (peri- ods) can be configured.

Notes:

Depending on the network line speed or the network traffic, images may not be transmitted at the exact designat- ed interval or period.

When "On" is selected for both the alarm image transmission function and the FTP periodic transmission function, the alarm image transmission function will be given priority over the FTP periodic transmission function. For this reason, images may not be transmitted at the exact designated interval or period if alarms occur frequently.
