If you want to expand to allow in more viewers, the host server should be able to 

handle large network traffic, which must handle the picture refreshing from the 

Network Camera. 

If the web space has FTP service, 

Set the Network Camera as an FTP client to upload the pictures. The access to the 

Network Camera will be independent of the number of viewers and the picture quality 

will remain constant. 

1. Click on “Configuration” on homepage, 

2. Click on “Network” at the left column, 

3. Fill the FTP related settings including server, user name and password, as well as the 

upload path if specified by the web space, 

4. Click on save and wait for system restart, 

5. Click on “Application” at the left column, 

6. Select “Sequential operation” and set the interval, 

7. Select FTP without date time suffix as the upload method and click on save, 

8. The image file uploaded to the web space is named “video.jpg”. Check if the file is 

successfully uploaded to the correct folder,   

9. Prepare a homepage with the embedded image reference to the image file uploaded 

via FTP in advance.   

If the web space has no FTP service, 

An auto-refresh homepage can be used to periodically poll the newest image from the 

Network Camera. It is most efficient if using a free web space provider as the FTP 

service may be limiting. 

1. Prepare an auto-refresh homepage like the following example. The URL of image is 

http://“IP address of the Network Camera”/cgi-bin/video.jpg. Modify the IP address 

according to your Network Camera. Define the refresh interval according to your 

network bandwidth for best result. If the refresh rate is too fast and there is a large 

number of visitors, this may overload the Network Camera and slows the response.
