User's Manual

Setup of the FTP alarm sending menu is very similar to setting up the Email alarm Sending/Email periodic

sending, so we don't explain the Snapshot from, Snapshot duration, Snapshot frame rate, Alarm interval,Image

file name, Suffix of file name again here.

[Enable] Enable task.

schedule ID for your task.

[FTP server name] Type the name or IP address of the FTP server. At a minimum you need the IP address (FTP server

name) for your FTP server. The port is almost always 21, and typical servers need a username and password which

means

“Authentication” should be set to “Yes”.

[FTP server port] The port number of the FTP server (default is 21).

[Remote path] Input the file directory. It is an optional setting to specify a folder on the FTP server. If you

decide to use this feature, you have to make sure that the folder exists on the FTP server with the exact

same spelling.

[Authentication] Select whether authentication is required by the FTP server. Choose “No” for anonymous

access.

[User name] Type your FTP user

name. [Password] Type your FTP

password. [Re-type password]

Re-type your password. Click Apply to

confirm your settings.

Instead of using motion detection in “FTP alarm sending”, you can also use the “FTP Periodic sending” menu to

upload pictures at regular time intervals.

[Period Interval]--Time interval between snapshots. It allows you to designate a time (in seconds or minutes or

hours) during which new emails are suppressed. For example, if you want to avoid a flood of emails, you could

set this time to 60 minutes so that you wouldn’t get any new emails for 1 hour.

Note:The menu option for “HTTP alarm sending” and “ HTTP Periodic sending” are not explained here since

HTTP servers are only used by network professionals.
