Pearl-2 User Guide Choose files to include in AFU
l Automatically create a folder for your recorded files using the channel or recorder name.
l Save recordings to a folder that's labeled using the Pearl-2 serial number.
Automatic File Upload (AFU) is not enabled by default. You must enable this feature for each channel or
recorder that you want included in automatic file transfers. A log file of all file transfers is created that you can
view anytime from the Admin panel.
The following types of off-system storage are supported for AFU:
l FTP
l RSync
l CIFS
l CP
l SFTP
l Amazon Web Server (AWS)
l WebDav
l USBDrive
Important considerations
l Only one type of AFU can be used for all file transfers from the same channel or recorder.
l Do not configure AFU for a channel that is paired with AV Studio.
l When Content Management System (CMS) is enabled on Pearl-2, you cannot change the AFU settings
for channels that are configured as part of a scheduled VOD event. As well, AFU is disabled for all new
channels that are created while CMS is enabled on Pearl-2.
l Files are automatically uploaded only once. New recordings created during later sessions do not
overwrite files that were previously uploaded. A new file is uploaded.
l If the connection is lost during the transfer, the transfer automatically restarts when the connection is
reestablished.
l If recorded files are selected for upload while the AFU is at maximum upload capacity or when the AFU
is unavailable, they are added to an upload queue. Files and their relevant information are displayed in
a list and are uploaded when the upload capacity becomes available.
Choose files to include in AFU
When configuring automatic file upload (AFU), you need to tell the system which channels and recorders you
want included in the upload schedule.
