How to Configure FTP Settings for Archiving Images
The Digital Sprite 2 can archive images to a central FTP server or to the internal
CD writer; this can be on receipt of an alarm or VMD using a scheduled time to
backup the video.
When using FTP in a multi-unit application this ensures that all files are stored
in one central location for each of the Digital Sprite 2s, offering efficient file
management and easier review capabilities.
To configure the FTP information:
1. Select Network -> FTP Events Download.
