Connecting the Camera to a Server
Using a high-capacity server for storing video image data delivered from network
cameras enables you to save all video image data within a specific period, for
retrieving and playing when necessary.
Although no special external interface is provided for retrieving video image
data from network cameras, you can easily retrieve video image data using the
normal HTTP protocol. Some programming in perl or another language is required
for data retrieval; however, you need only to create components that are essential
to data sampling. You do not need to write programs for the screen frame
design and other viewer aspects that are not essential.
Furthermore, the network camera stores various information generated internally
as logs. These logs support the syslog protocol, so they can be transferred
from the network camera to a server (running an OS such as Unix or Linux that
supports the syslog protocol) if you configure the log transfer setting of the
network camera.
Constant monitoring of these logs facilitates expert detection of any trouble
occurring within the network camera. Although this requires continuous
monitoring of syslog (or messages) on the server, the recent increase in the
popularity of network management systems (NMS) equipped with many features
for monitoring, for example, networks, system performance, and resources means
that this is not a problem.
