17.6 Configure the settings relating to the FTP periodic image transmission [FTP img. trans.]
Click the [FTP img. trans.] tab on the “Network” page. (→9.1 How to display the setup menu, 9.2 How to operate the setup menu)
The settings relating to the periodic transmission of images to an FTP server can be configured on this page. To transmit images to an FTP server periodically, it is necessary to configure the settings of the FTP server in advance (→16.2 Configure the settings relating to the FTP server [FTP]). Refer to 17.7 Configure the schedule settings of the FTP periodic image transmission [FTP img. trans.] for descriptions of how to configure schedules of image transmission.
IMPORTANT
Depending on the network line speed or the network traffic, images may not be transmitted at the exact designated interval or period.
When “On” is selected for both of 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. For this reason, images may not be transmitted at the exact designated interval or period if alarms occur frequently.
Select “FTP error” for “Save trigger” on the [SD memory card] tab when using the FTP periodic transmission function.
Note
When “FTP error” is selected for “Save trigger” on the [SD memory card] tab, images that have failed to transmit using the FTP periodic image transmission can be saved automatically on the SD memory card. (→5.3 Save images on the SD memory card when images fail to transmit using the FTP periodic image transmission function)
