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 DVR 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.
PICTURE 2-6
Image Upload Interval – This is the time taken between snapshots uploaded to the FTP.
• 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.
• Once you’ve completed your FTP setup, click the Test button to check your settings.
