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 se\
rver will become available.
Important:
When using this function, set the user name and password to restrict use\
rs who can log into the FTP server. 
T ransmit an alarm image at an alarm occurrence (Alarm image
FTP transmission)
An alarm image can be transmitted at an alarm occurrence to the FTP serv\
er. To transmit alarm images to an FTP
server, it is necessary to configure the settings in advance. 
The settings for the FTP server can be configured on the [FTP] tab of th\
e Server setup page. (
☞page 40)
The alarm image FTP transmission function can be turned on/off on the [A\
larm] tab of the Alarm setup page. 
(

Note:
Depending on the network traffic, number of the transmitted images may n\
ot reach the set number of images to
be transmitted.
T ransmit images at a designated interval or period (FTP periodic
transmission)
Images can be transmitted at a designated interval or period. To transmi\
t images at a designate interval or period, it
is necessary to configure the settings in advance.

On the [FTP] tab of the Network setup page, the FTP periodic transmiss\
ion function can be turned on/off, and the
settings relating to schedules (periods) can be configured. (

Notes:
• Depending on the network line speed or the network traffic, images may n\
ot be transmitted at the exact designat-
ed interval or period. 
•W hen ON is selected for both of the alarm image FTP transmission functi\
on and the FTP periodic transmission
function, the alarm image FTP transmission function will be given priori\
ty over the FTP periodic transmission

signated interval or period if alarms
occur frequently.
