In the FTP Schedule sub-menu you can create a unique timetable to tell the recorder when to upload snapshots and video footage to your FTP server. You can also choose which event types are included. This could be when snapshots or footage captured as the result of normal scheduled recording, a motion detection trigger, an alarm trigger or when there was a smart detection trigger.
For an event type to be included in FTP uploads they will need to have FTP Picture Upload or FTP Video Upload ticked in the Alarm Menu for the channels required. For normal scheduled recordings to be included you will need to configure this in the FTP sub-menu.
By default motion, alarm and smart detection triggered snapshots and videos are scheduled to upload 24 hours a, day 7 days a week. Normal scheduled recordings are not scheduled to be uploaded at all but this can all be amended as explained below.
