If you want to remotely record security camera footage, setting up recording to an FTP server is a cheap option to consider. Almost all security cameras enable footage recording to a remote FTP server, making it an affordable way to record continuously, provided the FTP server is in the same network as the cameras.
Recording surveillance camera footage to an FTP server follows a similar process to recording to a computer. The settings must be configured via the software/app on a computer.
Steps to Record Surveillance Cameras on an FTP Server Round-the-Clock
- Connect the security camera to the network.
- On a computer with the same network, run the surveillance camera software/app.
- Navigate to the video recording settings after the software connects to the camera.
- Configure the video recording options, such as 24/7 recording or motion detection recording.
- Select the recording path on the FTP server where you want to save the footage.
- Save the settings, and close the software and the computer.
It’s essential to ensure that the FTP server remains operational all the time during the recording process.
By following these steps, you can monitor the security status of your home or business with ease, knowing that your surveillance systems are constantly recording.
