FTP
Network Camera not only has web service for easy access but also has a built-in FTP service to make
system integrators easy to use. According to settings on the application page, Network Camera can
sequentially send updated snapshots over a specific period to an external server with choices of
overwriting and time suffix. For security staff, Network Camera can directly send snapshots to an external
server as evidence according to event settings. Through Network Camera’s FTP daemon, administrators
can quickly update configurations and maintenance.
Those files with GIF extensions which are used for a homepage layout and can be read and overwritten.
They also can be downloaded by managed users. Other files will be explained below.
Uploading snapshots periodically to an external FTP server
In sequential mode, Network Camera will send out snapshots according to interval and period settings. If
snapshot files are intended for quick updates, it is better to skip date and time suffix. The file name will
then be video.jpg. If the snapshots are used for occasional monitoring, suffix with date and time can help
administrators classify them easily.
Customizing homepage images
There is a small icon before each link that can be changed by administrators. Administrators may change
the look of the logo, background and image buttons by him or her self. There are three types of logos and
backgrounds, blank, default and other URL. The default method will use the image stored in the Flash
memory. Administrators may change the default logo, background image and button images by uploading
customized ones. The followings are the referenced file names and size limitations.
