Login Timing Select the login setting for the FTP server. If you set [One 
Time] and the image buffer frequency value is set within 1 
minute, the camera logs in to the server only once. This can 
reduce transfer time.

files. Enter 1—234 characters. Entering \ creates directories 
for a file. (E.g. NetworkCamera\image.jpg)
Overwrite 
Setting Selecting [Overwrite File] overwrites the image on the server 
with a newer image. Selecting [Save as New File with Time 
Stamp] saves the image attaching time stamps on the file 
name, and the images are not overwritten.
(E.g. image20050101093020500.jpg) The underlined 
numbers mean 9h30min20s500ms on January 1, 2005. The 
letter s is inserted after the day when referring to a daylight 
saving time zone.

How to 
authenticateYou can select the authentication method: [No authentication], 
[POP before SMTP authentication] and [SMTP authentication].
POP server authentication may be required by your ISP. In 
that case, set POP before SMTP authentication.
 No authentication: No authentication when sending an e-
mail.
 POP before SMTP authentication: Some SMTP servers 
that send e-mails do not have an authentication feature. 
Therefore, the camera uses the authentication of a POP 
server that receives e-mails, before sending e-mails.
