Setup guide

BX2

Note: When FTP is selected it will be necessary to congure the FTP settings for the unit. For

further details on conguring Automatic Archiving to an FTP Server refer to the Network

Guide. Additionally, when FTP is selected in the event destination parameter, an additional

option is included in the download menu allowing for continuous archiving to be selected.

This will result in the BX2 making a connection to the FTP server (congurable in the FTP

Setting screen) and will continuously archive images from the hard drive of the unit to the

FTP server.

FTP Settings - Forced archive

If a system policy is in place it may be necessary to archive any recorded images within a set time, the forced

archive option can be congured to ensure the recordings are archived within this specied time period.

FTP Settings - Warn threshold

It is possible to set a threshold on the unit so that if the archive process is slower than the recording rate the

unit can identify when the selected percentage (example is set to 30%) of hard disk space that is not waiting

to be archived remains before the un-archived images will be overwritten. This will allow the Operator to either

slow the record rate down or review the speed of the archive process.

FTP Settings - Start Date

There are two options:

Start at - This allows the time and date to be congured. It is possible to start the archive process

in the future stating all recordings after this date will be archived, or in the past to ensure previous

recorded images plus all new recordings are archived.

No change - This will leave the date as previously congured (or from when the Continuous

Archive option was enabled).

FTP Settings - Archive Date

This is a read only setting and shows the time and date of the last archive session and identies what the

percentage of recorded images are left to be archived i.e. 100% means the archive process hasn’t begun and

there is still 100% of recorded images to be archived.

This percentage will be used in conjunction with the warn threshold, as the percentage drops (as les are

archived) the unit will monitor and will trigger an event when the percentage drops below the specied

threshold.

Download Options

The download option determines when the download will occur, the available options are:

• Scheduled - It is possible to force the unit to archive images at a scheduled time daily.

• Polled - This will set the unit to activate archive download at regular intervals. The parameter, in

minutes, is the time between the end of one archive download to the start of the next.

• Manual only - The archive action will only commence when the User initiates the action by

pressing the Download on Demand.

• On Connection - This will automatically start the archive download when the unit detects the

archive destination is present (CD/DVD or network).

• Continuous Archiving - Please refer to detailed description shown above.

Note: A CD/DVD must be inserted in the writer if the archive destination is set to CD/DVD.

Clear Video Protection

If the recorded images have been protected, this option will automatically remove the protection from the

images once they have been successfully downloaded. The images on the hard drive can then be overwritten.
