Dear Community, and Nx employees,

For a big projet I need to send video file to FTP on event : when analitycs event is detected I send video file to monitoring center.

I need to be able to setup a pre-record and post-record, something pretty similar to what we got on device record action.

And for sure I must find a way to setup IP, user an dPWD for this FTP action.

Any idea on how to perform it in Nx ? Using third party software ?

Bye

  Only way I know how to do that now is to make an API request back to the server for the video chunk desired. I think one of the issues that I had is that until the .mkv chunk is fully written to disk (ie, not still in buffer, about 70 seconds), it is inconsistent, so I delay the request a bit. I am currently working on a web app that accepts an FTP image upload directly from the camera (line cross, Alarm input, etc) and then makes a request back to the local Nx server for a predefined length video chunk beginning +/- the timestamp of the ftp snapshot. It works fairly well. I think I tried sending an HTTP request to my web server but had trouble including things like CamID or timestamp. It has been a while, I’d have to review my notes and take a look at the new release V5 to see if anything has changed. At this time I am not aware of any way for Nx to send anything FTP, but would be cool if it did. But there are workarounds, albeit not simple.

  Hello Paul,

  Good to get your reply, it's seems to be harder than expected ! 

  I will check with my team too and see what can be done.
