To enable the webcam connection information:
1. Enable the single FTP session so the FTP link from the Digital Sprite 2 to the FTP server is
permanently up. If this is not enabled then an FTP session will need to be established every
time the Digital Sprite 2 needs to transmit images.
2. Enable batch transfer and images will be transmitted to the FTP Server in a ‘batch’, e.g. the
Digital Sprite 2 will take ‘snap shots’ from video inputs 1, 2, 4 and send these in a single batch to
the FTP Server. If this is disabled then the Digital Sprite 2 will transmit files individually.
The delay between batch files being transmitted is the update interval, e.g. every 10 seconds
the Digital Sprite 2 will send images from video inputs 1, 2, 3.
If batch is disabled then the update interval is the time between the Digital Sprite 2 sampling an
image from one input to the next, e.g. the Digital Sprite 2 will transmit an image from input 1, 10
seconds later it will transmit and image from input 2, etc.
3. Select the resolution of the image that will be transmitted to the FTP Server, the files sizes
that are applicable to this resolution are displayed. The file size should be taken into account
with reference to the speed and type of network link.
4. Enable the Webcam functionality for this feature to operate, tick the box which is appropriate
to your application; disabled, enabled when system SET, enabled when system UNSET or
always enabled.
5. Remember to save the configuration by selecting Save Settings!
