Upload Video/snapshot and Audio checkbox: this decides if this rule is in effect, or disabled.
Sometimes it is useful to keep the settings for troubleshooting purposes, but keep them as
disabled.
Upload Media to: these define the task at hand, and change the field that needs to be filled out.
Upload Period: IP device will provide video/snapshots for the number of seconds here. It will
stop uploading video/snapshot at the end of this period. If you have video management software
recording from this camera at the same time, the normal recording through NVR will not be
affected, and goes on throughout the event period and afterwards. But the special upload session
will end as the event ends.
Image during Upload Period: This is used only by snapshots. This tells the camera how many
snapshots it should attempt to capture during the Upload Time. If this value is set to 0, then the IP
device will attempt to capture as many snapshots as possible. Depending upon the device
loading, the number of snapshots taken may not reach the number you specified.
Pre-Buffer Time: This is only used by video. If this is set to more than 0, then the IP device will
start to buffer video in its internal memory. The maximum pre buffer is 10 seconds. When an
event requires video upload, the IP device will first upload the video taken right before the event
then keep uploading until it reaches the upload time.
Image File Name/ Upload Path: You will need to specify rule for file names and upload paths
(upload path is not needed for Email. Just put a slash “/” in the field). The rules contain flexible
parameters. A sample rule and corresponding filename will look like this:
Front_Door_%YYYY_%MM_%DD@%hh%mm%ss
[e-mail]
Upload Path folders may also be named dynamically. For the IP device to create folders on FTP
and HTTP CGI servers properly, your FTP/CGI account will need to have permission to create
folders. For syntax on auto naming, please see online help or the inset box at the end of this
section.
The symbol “%” cannot be the first character in filename or upload path. Please use either an
alphabet or a number as the starting character. For Upload Path, be sure to start and end eith a
backslash“\”. An example will be : \Backgate%MM%DD\
