Local FTPserver
Pearl-2 can act as an FTP server, allowing you to manually or automatically connect to the system and
download recordings. Depending on configuration of the FTP server, you may also be able to remotely delete
files after download, maximizing available system storage.
When using an FTP server to download a file, it is possible to start the download while that file is
still in the process of being recorded. This results in an incomplete file. To avoid this, check the
status of the file in the Admin panel before beginning the download process.
