Settings for uploading video via HTTP or FTP when an event is triggered.
Use [Server] > [Server] (P. 144) to  configure HTTP server and FTP server settings for uploading.
Video Record Setting
When an event is triggered, you can set whether to upload came ra video with HTTP or FTP or to record the video to a 
memory card.
This item can also be set with the [Memory Card] submenu (P. 204) and will be reflected in  [Video Record Setting] here.
[Video Record Action]
Select [Upload] to upload video.
General Upload
Set the upload method and  video format for upload.
[Upload]
Select whether to upload with HTTP or FTP.
[Video Record] > [Upload]
HTTP and FTP Upload Settings
Important
 When using the upload function or recording to a memory car d, the following settings are required according to each event.
– [Video Record] settings configured with [Event] > [Timer].
– [Video Record] settings configured with each of the [Event]  > [External Device], [Audio Detection] and [Linked Events].
– The setting in the [Event] tab of the Intelligent Function (P. 184).
 When using the upload function, or recording to the memory card, do not change the settings in the [Setting Page]. Doing so ma y 
result in the upload function or the recording to memory card to stop.
 If you are using either HTTP or FTP upload together with e-ma il notification by text and video, set [Video] > [JPEG] > [Video Size: 
Upload / Memory card] (P . 102) to a small size.
 HTTP upload does not support SSL/TLS.
 If the camera is set to upload or send e-mail notification cont inuously, not all video or e-mails may be sent depending on the  video size 
and the network condition to the server. If this  occurs, a message is written to the log (P. 211).
 If the destination for HTTP or FTP upload, or e-mail notificat ion is set for a Windows operating system, IPsec communication i s not 
supported.
The following settings can be configured here.
