FTP
File Transfer Protocol (FTP) allows you to securely share, manage, and distribute files over the
internet. You will need to already have a server and FTP service tool to utilize this feature on
the NVR.
Follow the software’s instructions to set up your service, password and FTP folder. You will
need to grant Write privileges to the FTP upload user.
Enter the FTP server address, port and
remote directory. If the remote directory is left
blank, the system will automatically create
folders according to the IP, time and channel.
User Name and Password – This is the
account information created when
you set up your FTP and is used to
allow the NVR to log into the server.
File Length – This is the maximum length (in
minutes). Files under the maximum
will upload completely. Files longer
than the maximum limit will only
upload to that limit and not continue.
If the value is left at 0, there is no limit
and the system will upload all files
completely.

The lower portion of this window allows you to set up to two upload periods for each channel.
Recordings made during the time(s) selected will be uploaded to the server. You can specify
which type of incidents will be uploaded as well.
2.2 ADDITIONAL SETTINGS
You may need to adjust your settings in the Record Setting and Account windows to ensure
trouble-free remote monitoring. Complete instructions on their use can be found in Chapter
5 of the User Manual.
RECORD SETTING
Whether monitoring your NVR via a computer or your smartphone, you may need to adjust
the Extra Stream settings to match the capabilities of your network or wireless provider.

If you are experiencing any performance
issues in your remote or mobile viewing,
adjust the settings in the Extra Stream
portion of the Record Setting window. Most
QC-series NVRs will only allow the use of the
smaller QCIF (Quarter CIF) resolution format
for this second stream. The CBR bit rate
type is generally better for remote streaming.
Adjust the frame rate to find the best
performance for your particular situation.
Remember that changes made in the Extra
Stream section do not effect how your NVR
records to its own drive.
