5 Transmit images onto an FTP server

Images can be transmitted to an FTP server. By configuring the following settings, transmission of images captured at an alarm occurrence or captured at a designated interval to an FTP server will become available.

IMPORTANT

• When using this function, set the user name and the password to access the FTP server to restrict

users who can log into the FTP server.

5.1 Transmit an alarm image at an alarm occurrence (Alarm image transmission)

An alarm image can be transmitted at an alarm occurrence to the FTP server. To transmit alarm images to an FTP server, it is necessary to configure the settings in advance. FTP server settings and settings relating to alarm image transmission can be configured in the “FTP” section of the [Advanced] tab of the “Network” page. (®page 138) Settings can also be configured from the “Alarm image FTP transmission” settings of “Camera action on alarm” on the [Alarm] tab of the “Alarm” page. (®page 105)

Note

• Depending on the network traffic, the number of the transmitted images may not reach the set number

of images to be transmitted.

• Alarm images failed to be transmitted to the FTP server at an alarm occurrence will not be saved on

the SD memory card. However, images that fail to be transmitted with the FTP periodic image transmission will be saved. When “On” is selected for both the alarm image transmission function and the FTP periodic image transmission function, the alarm image transmission function will be given priority over the FTP periodic image transmission function. Also, when “On” is selected for the “FTP transmission retry” FTP setting (®page 139), alarm images will be retransmitted if there is an FTP transmission failure. Therefore, if there is continuous retransmission due to network problems or other factors, periodic transmission will not be performed and images that fail to be transmitted with the FTP periodic image transmission will not be saved to an SD memory card.

5.2 Transmit images at a designated interval or period (FTP periodic image transmission)

Images can be transmitted at a designated interval or period. To transmit images at a designated interval or period, it is necessary to configure the settings in advance. FTP server settings and settings relating to FTP periodic transmission image transmission can be configured in the “FTP” section of the [Advanced] tab of the “Network” page. (®page 138) Configure the schedule settings of the FTP periodic image transmission on the “Schedule” page. (®page 171)

5.3 Save images on the SD memory card when images fail to transmit using the FTP periodic image transmission function

Images that have failed to transmit using the FTP periodic image transmission can be saved automatically on the SD memory card. It is possible to select a trigger to save images on the SD memory card on the [SD memory card] tab of the “Basic” page. (®page 51) To use the SD memory recording function featured in our network disk recorder, select “Off” for “FTP periodic image transmission” (®page 140) and “FTP error” for “Save trigger” of “Recording stream 1” (®page 54).

Note

• When “On” is selected for both the alarm image transmission function and the FTP periodic image

transmission function, the alarm image transmission function will be given priority over the FTP periodic image transmission function. Also, when “On” is selected for the “FTP transmission retry” FTP setting (®page 139), alarm images will be retransmitted if there is an FTP transmission failure. Therefore, if there is continuous retransmission due to network problems or other factors, periodic transmission will not be performed and images that fail to be transmitted with the FTP periodic image transmission will not be saved to an SD memory card.

– When flickering appears or the color changes on the screen – When noise appears in the brighter area on the screen

Super Dynamic function

When there is wide variation between the illumination of light and dark areas of the location being monitored, the camera adjusts the lens iris in accordance with the brighter areas. This causes loss of detail in darker areas. Conversely, adjusting the lens brightness for the darker areas causes the brighter areas to become washed out. Super Dynamic digitally combines an image that is set up for a clear view of the brighter areas with an image that is set up for a clear view of the darker areas, creating a final image that preserves overall detail.

A. Subject in the dark

area is hard to notice...

B. Subject in the bright

area is washed out...

C. Creates a clearer

image by digitally combining images

[Face SD]

With the “Face SD” setting, if a person's face is dark and difficult to see, by combining the face detection and Super Dynamic functions, the area with the face in the image can be corrected to become brighter and easier to see.
