							5   Transmit images onto an FTP serverImages 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

• When “On(NTSC)”  or “On(PAL)”  is selected for  “Monitor out”, image transmission to the FTP server is
unavailable.
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 166) 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 137)
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 168), 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 166)
Configure the schedule settings of the FTP periodic image transmission on the “Schedule” page.
Note
•Depending on the line speed or the traffic, images may not be transmitted at the designated interval.
Operating Instructions43

							•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. Therefore, images may not be transmitted at the interval designated on
the “FTP periodic image transmission” setting.
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 70)
To use the SD memory recording function featured in Panasonic network disk recorder, select “Off” for “FTP
periodic image transmission” ( ®page 169) and “FTP error” for “Save trigger” of “Recording
stream” ( ®page 71).
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 168), 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.
IMPORTANT
•We make no guarantee for any damages of files on the SD memory card incurred by malfunction or
error occurrence in files saved in the SD memory card regardless of what the cause may be.
