Log Windows
The Log windows let you set up and view the IP camera log file, which captures information about the
IP camera and its activities.
The IP camera stores the log file in its internal SDRAM. If the SDRAM becomes full, the IP camera
begins to overwrite existing information. To avoid losing log information, you can configure the IP
camera to send log information to a Syslog server.
The following sections describe the Log windows in detail:
• Log Setup Settings Window, page 3-33
• Local Log Window, page 3-35
Log Setup Settings Window
The Log Setup Settings window provides options for configuring the log file and an optional syslog
server on which to store log files.
To display the Log Setup Settings window, access the configuration windows as described in the
“Performing the Initial Setup of the IP Camera” section on page 2-5, click Log, then click Setup.
