Syslog & Log Window
The Syslog & Log window lets you manage the IP camera log file, which captures and stores information
about the IP camera and its activities.
The IP camera captures the information that you specify and stores the log file in its internal SDRAM.
If the SDRAM becomes full, the IP camera begins to overwrite existing information. To prevent this
situation, configure the IP camera to send log information to a Syslog server and periodically clear log
information from SDRAM manually by using the Clear Log option in the Syslog & Log window.
Note The camera also maintains a video log file. For more information, see the “Video Log Window” section
on page 3-46.
To display the Syslog & Log window, access the configuration windows as described in the “Accessing
the IP Camera Windows” section on page 2-6, click Status, then click Syslog & Log.
Table 3-25 describes the options in the Syslog & Log window.
