Images from up to four different
cameras can be retrieved. The
images do not need to reside on the
same FTP server. This window
will allow the selection of images
residing on a single server for
retrieval. The selection process
must be repeated for other servers
that may contain images from
other cameras. Enter the FTP
server Internet address to which
the images are delivered by the
camera. Enter the user ID and
password for this server. This
server address, user ID, and
password will be the same entries
as made in the Observer’s
Network Settings page. Click on
the Connect button. The
application will access the server
and display the contents. The
directory tree may have to be
navigated to get to the destination
folder. Opening the folder will
display all the files it contains. Observer image files will have check boxes next to them. Locate
the image(s) that are being generated by the Observer camera(s) and select those boxes. Click on
the Open button. The application will download the selected images and begin checking for new
ones, update the display and archive the images if enabled. Repeat the process for any images
that may reside on a different server. Note that the application is limited to retrieving and
displaying images from only four Observer cameras.
An image from each camera of interest must already reside on the server for this selection process
to function. Once an Observer camera is properly configured, successfully running the “Image
Delivery Test” will leave an image on the FTP server, allowing subsequent selection by the
FTPJPG application. Run this test to place an initial image on the server.
Note also that proper operation of the camera with the FTPJPG application requires that the
camera be configured to produce images with a ‘constant’ name type. This selection is found on
the System Settings page on the camera and must be selected if the FTPJPG application is to be
used.
