Anyone have good knowlege of cctv?

What do you want to know/do?

Notebook · 03-11-07, 05:32 PM

I have a laptop and a buffalo wireless router. All my docs are backed up online to a service called carbonite. I am also thinking of buying a NAS drive that will plug directly into my cable router ( a freecom network 500gb drive )
Is there any way of having the camera ( looking at a panasonic wireless ) record what it sees, either to this attached drive, or to an online service such as carbonite, that doesnt require one of my computers running eg my laptop off.
hope this makes sense.
cheers

It certainly is, the majority of 'IP' camera's support FTP.

If your network drive supports FTP access, which it probably will, you camera will be able to either upload video files or loads of JPEG images to either the network drive on your network, or to a remote server.

I'm not 100% sure about Carbonite. It all seems very propitiatory. I'll get back to you on that.

But it can certainly be done, and well (Y)

Multifunctional hard drive: network storage, fileserver, webserver, FTP server, USB server, USB printserver, torrent client.

Is this what it needs?

Sounds like a nice device. The FTP server is what you need. Do you know anything abotu FTP?

used cute ftp once or twice to upload web pages... thats about it

You get the principal then?

FTP is a 'protocol' for file transfer. Its actually the 'File Transfer Protocol'.

The camera logs into your network drive using FTP (like you would do to upload a webpage, except your camera isn't human :P) and uploads the movie files or the images or whatever you have it set to do so. It can also remove them after a certain time I should imagine. Depends entirely on the camera.

Which camera is it out of interest?

something like a panasonic bl-c30
although I saw one called something like a 111
anyway, ftp, what if the disk is in rundown? or would the camera wake it?
