[tulllio86 0]

Hi i'm a new user of the forum that install security system.I have a problem to tell us because i haven't find the solution.

The problem is the function of ftp transfer of the dvr Avtech h264.I have to use this function and for do the correctly instructions i have test this function at my home with two computer:one of them is configured to be a server and the another is the host that i use to connect at the server.

First,i have configured the dvr to transmit throught ftp,the video clips of the motion that is realeaved with my camera.In the server root i have see that there are some many file of this record.So,i have opened this.When i have open,starts the browser of IE and appear a box that there are a target to insert username and password of the dvr,the date of the record,and a bottons for drive the record(save,play rewind).I try to play the record appear a black screen and i don't see any record of motion....I repeat this operation for the other files that is into the root of server (generated by the motion trigger of the dvr)

I have installed correctly the active x of the videoserver of Avtech,and i have correctly installed the player for watch the record (.avc),so i don't know where is the problem and what causes this..

Can you help me?..PLEASE..BYE

Tullio,

I think maybe you might have remote web access confused with FTP.

In all the DVR's I've used the FTP upload is just STILL IMAGES--I think this is why you are seeing so many files. It may be saving a series of stills along with the video clip--I have seen some systems that do this.

For remote playback of motion to a client make sure all streaming ports are opened and forwarded on the DVR server. This ports may vary depending on the maker.

To save to FTP you must have a server running FTP services--open port 21 on that machine. You will need to create a user account and password for the dvr to trigger as well as a designated upload folder.

In the ftp upload area settings of the DVR you input the address of the FTP server, the folder assigned to it and the username and password. When motion is triggered it starts the ftp upload which is normally STILL IMAGES--to be realistic you cannot upload and save multiple or even single streams of video as the fie is being created while it's being sent. Imagine if you had an 8 or 16 channel system all trying to save at once via ftp--it would crash.

 

I'm hosting my clients FTP saves while she is on vacation--it's all setup and working and it's strictly uploading stills
