FTP
The Video Server 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, the Video Server can
sequentially send updated snapshots over a specific period to an external server with choices of
overwriting and time suffix. For security staff, the Video Server can directly send snapshots to an external
server as evidence according to event settings. Through the Video Server’s FTP daemon, Administrator
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.

snapshot files are intended for quick updates, it is better to skip date and time suffix. The file name will

help Administrator classify easily them.
