Alarm logThe WJ-ND300 or WJ-ND200 recorder sends a notification to the PC when an
alarm has occurred or an error has arisen.
The alarm information is added to the alarm log. The alarm images with a time
length preset by the Pre/Post time will be downloaded. (Alarm download) Error
information is added to the error log.
It is possible to update an alarm log by referring to information of the recorded
images transmitted to an FTP server directory on a PC. To do this, it is necessary
for IIS (Microsoft
®Internet Information Services) to be running on the PC on which
this software is installed.
It is possible to run the FTP server of IIS on a PC whose OS is Windows
®XP
Professional or Windows®2000 Professional. However, it is necessary to install
IIS additionally. Open Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs, Add/
Remove Windows Components, and finally add Internet Information Services
(IIS) on the Windows Components Wizard.
When adding Internet Information Services(IIS), click the [Details…] button and
check the [File Transfer Protocol (FTP) Service] box.
After adding Internet Information Services (IIS), right click the icon of My
Computer and select Manage from the pop-up menu. Perform the settings of the
FTP server on the displayed window by selecting Internet Information Services
from Services and Applications.
Refer to the operating instructions on the Windows operating system or Help.
When using the Windows
®XP Home Edition, install other FTP server software to
use this function.
Log created by this software when a PC received alarm information from the
recorder. It is possible to directly access a corresponding image from this log.

Function featured in some Panasonic’s cameras that saves images on the SD
memory card on the camera when communication with the camera failed in the
period set for the schedule recording of the unit. Images saved by the SD memory
recording are described as SD memory data on these operating instructions. The
recording time of SD memory data will be displayed based on the clock of the
camera.
