‘File overwrite’, file naming and path setting do not matter. ‘Passive Mode’ is important for most setups. (if settings are too abusive, the access will be blocked automatically). Only uploading of images at the same interval as in Step 1 is supported Sometimes settings are hidden in ‘Schedule’ or ‘Motion/alert’ setup menus of the firmware.Īlso turn of any motion triggered uploads and uploading of video files. Login to your IP camera and change the upload settings with the credentials from previous step. Your new FTP credentials are shown in the connection box. get the FTP credentials from the email or return to the settings page of that camera.create a new webcam (or edit an existing) and set the connection to ‘FTP upload’ and save the settings.These are some example steps to set up an IP camera to use FTP upload:ġ) first you need to get your FTP credentials It also gives you more control and works better with unreliable and slow connections. Using FTP adds security to your network, because the camera does not have to be accessible from the outside. Your IP camera sends the current image via FTP. Note: only single jpg images are processed - no URLs to mjpeg/mjpg streams. or check if new images arrived on the webcam page ( Dashboard -> Webcams -> show…).Check for a status messages in the Dashboard perhaps reloading several times - depending on set interval.Create a new webcam (or edit an existing), then enter the ‘URL of latest webcam image’ in the Image URL section and save.If you don’t know the path for your camera model, this is a large database with camera types: (look for vendor, model and then JPEG type URLs) This probably requires setup of dyndns and port-forwarding in your router.
Please make sure your camera is available for access from the outside (a local network adresses like will not work!). This can be the “current image URL” of the camera (or in some setups the URL to a jpg file on a webserver that is updated regularly). We fetch the current image from this URL. And your camera does not need to be accessible from the outside. We recommend FTP upload for stability and ease of setup. FTP upload (recommended): Your camera is set to send images to our servers in required interval.This likely requires setting up port-forwarding and dynamic DNS in your router. Image URL: Our servers fetch new images from the current image URL of your camera.To set up the time-lapse feature, please choose a way to continuously transfer the still images (jpg):
