5 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 set “Save trigger” to
“FTP error” on the [SD memory card] tab of the “Basic” page when “JPEG” is selected for [Recording
format]. (®page 61)
•When “3M Fisheye [4:3]” or “VGA Quad streams [4:3]” is selected for “Image capture mode”, images
cannot be transmitted to the FTP server.

5.1 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. (®page 150)
The alarm image transmission function can be turned on/off in the “Alarm image” section of the [Alarm] tab of
the “Alarm” page. (®page 126)
Note
•Depending on the network traffic, the number of the transmitted images may not reach the set number
of images to be transmitted.
•Alarm images failed to be transmitted to the FTP server at an alarm occurrence will not be saved on
the SD memory card. However, images that fail to be transmitted with the FTP periodic image
transmission will be saved.

5.2 Transmit images at a designated interval or

period (FTP periodic image 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 can be configured on the [FTP] tab of the “Server” page. (®page 150)
It is possible to determine whether or not to use the FTP periodic image transmission function and to configure
the settings relating to alarm images and the schedule on the “FTP img. trans.” tab of the “Network” page.
(®page 185)
Note
•Depending on the line speed or the traffic, images may not be transmitted at the designated interval.
•When “On” is selected for both the alarm image transmission function and the FTP periodic image
transmission function, the alarm image transmission function will be given priority over the FTP periodic
image transmission function. Therefore, images may not be transmitted at the interval designated on
the “FTP periodic image transmission” setting.
