Uploading Video, Audio or Photos Periodically

Many video, audio and image (photo) files are created when alerts like Video/Audio recording and Take Photos are triggered periodically.  By default, a new file is created every time these alerts run.  You can choose to upload one or more such files to an FTP location for central storage and maintenance at regular intervals.  You can also choose to upload video, audio or photos on Motion/Noise Detection.

1. On the Tools menu, click Application Settings.
2. Select the Remote Monitoring tab.
3. Under Upload, click Configure.
4. Configure FTP Server Settings and Upload Behavior.  Check Enable Automatic Upload and select the After every option.

Overwrite the Last Photo

The overwrite option is especially useful when you have a web site that displays an image of a particular location.  By overwriting the same photo file, you can periodically update the picture posted on your website.  When setting up, make sure that the Take Photo alert is selected and is configured to take only one photo.

1. On the Tools menu, click Application Settings.
2. Select the Remote Monitoring tab.
3. Under Upload, click Configure.
4. Under Upload Behavior, check the Enable Automatic Upload option.
5. Select any automatic upload option depending on your requirement.
6. Specify where (server and folder) you want to upload the last photo.
7. Under Upload What, select the Photos option.
8. Select Overwrite Photo Files with the name.
9. If required, change the name of the file.
10. Click OK.
