Upload Settings
You can have
WebCam Monitor
upload all
recordings to an FTP server, either on your own network or over the
Internet. To open the Upload Settings, click the Configure
button in the Upload Settings area of the Remote
Monitoring
tab.
In the Upload
Settings window, you specify the address of your FTP server,
using either a domain name like ftp.domain.com or
an IP address like 111.222.333.444. You also specify your
user name and password, unless this server doesn't require individual
user names, in which case check Anonymous User.
You can
also select a folder on the server, to which your recordings will be
uploaded. You can either type the path to the folder or click
the
Browse button and select the folder from a list.
When
you have entered all the required FTP Server Settings,
click Test
Connection to confirm that your settings are correct.
You
must also choose what to upload. In the Upload What
section, you can choose to upload Audio/Video Files,
Photos,
or both (or neither). If you choose to upload photos, you can
Overwrite Photo Files with the name xxxx.
This can be used
to create a web page with a regularly updated still picture of a
location.
The Upload Behavior settings let you control
when uploads take place, and what happens after the upload is
successful. If you select Immediately
after media file creation, whenever a photo or recording
(whichever you have selected in the Upload
What area) is created, WebCam Monitor will immediately connect
to the server and upload it. If you select Enable Automatic
Upload after every n,
WebCam Monitor will automatically upload all files of the correct type
at regular intervals (for instance, "every 2 minutes"). If
automatic uploading
is
turned off, files will only be uploaded when you click the Start
Uploading button on the tool bar, or Start Uploading
on the
Tools menu.
If you select After uploading, delete
media files from this PC, each file will be deleted from your
computer after it is successfully uploaded.
You can see the
current status of FTP uploads by selecting Show Upload Status
from
the View menu.
If you click Restore Defaults,
all these settings return to their original values.
