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 server will become available. 
Important:
When using this function, set the user name and password to restrict users who can log into the FTP server. 
Transmit an alarm image at an alarm occurrence (Alarm image
FTP 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. 
The settings for the FTP server can be configured on the [FTP] tab of the Server setup page. (page 38)
The alarm image FTP transmission function can be turned on/off on the [Alarm] tab of the Alarm setup page. 
(page 28)
Note:
Depending on the network traffic, number of the transmitted images may not reach the set number of images to
be transmitted. 
Transmit images at a designated interval or period (FTP periodic
transmission)
Images can be transmitted at a designated interval or period. To transmit images at a designate interval or period, it
is necessary to configure the settings in advance. 
The settings for the FTP server can be configured on the [FTP] tab of the Server setup page. (page 38)
On the [FTP] tab of the Network setup page, the FTP periodic transmission function can be turned on/off, and the
settings relating to schedules (periods) can be configured. (page 43)
Notes:
• Depending on the network line speed or the network traffic, images may not be transmitted at the exact designat-
ed interval or period. 
• When ON is selected for both of the alarm image FTP transmission function and the FTP periodic transmission
function, the alarm image FTP transmission function will be given priority over the FTP periodic transmission
function. For this reason, images may not be transmitted at the exact designated interval or period if alarms
occur frequently.  
						

							Save images on the SD memory card when failed to transmit
images by the FTP periodic transmission function 
Images failed to transmit by the FTP periodic transmission can be saved automatically on the SD memory card. To
obtain the images saved on the SD memory card, use the Windows command prompt or FTP client software. The
obtained images can be browsed on a PC. 
Important:
We make no guarantee for any damages of files on the SD memory card incurred by malfunction or error occur-
rence in files saved on the SD memory card regardless of what the cause may be. 
Save images on the SD memory card
By configuring the following settings, saving images which had been failed to transmit to the FTP server using the
FTP periodic transmission function will become available.
