Configuring SNMP
SNMP is a protocol for managing devices on networks. When you enable SNMP
in the menu, network management systems can retrieve recorder status
information from the recorder via SNMP.
When you set the trap address and trap port in the recorder menu to the network
management system’s IP address and port number, and set up the network
management system as trap receiver, trap notifications (such as startup) are sent
from the recorder to the network management system.
Before configuring this function, you must first install the SNMP software.
To configure SNMP protocol settings:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Network Settings > SNMP.
2. Enter the required settings.
3. Click Apply to save the settings.
Configuring an FTP server to store
snapshots
You can upload your snapshots to an FTP server for storage.
Note: It is not possible to stream video to an FTP site.
To configure the FTP server settings:
1. From the menu toolbar, click Network Settings > FTP.
2. Check the Enable FTP box.
3. Enter the FTP server information.

software installed.
