Sending system logs to the FTP server

Contents

Introduction

Logs, sensor data, elements settings, etc. can be sent to a specified FTP server. Data files are first stored on the device (on the USB flash drive or the SD Card), and for some time (at 00:00 by device time) are sent to the FTP server. Sending files can take up to several minutes, so when you restart, there may be a loss of recent data. Keep this in mind when organizing the storage of backup information. Video files (from a USB Web camera) are sent immediately after creation.

When files are sent to the FTP server, files from the media (SD Card or USB Flash, with priority on SD Card) are used. Therefore, to send the log to the FTP server, you must enable logging to the media.
