13 File Server Checks

Use the Camera Checks dialog to configure tests that constantly monitor the file server that the camera is

using for image storage. The camera will actively monitor the file server and can report problems using

different notification methods.

Before you configure the file server test, make sure that you have properly configured the Event Storage on

an external file server.

13.1 Configuring the Tests

You can choose to run different test methods. The camera can check if the file server can be reached on the

network. It can also test if all event images have been transferred properly to the file server or if events have

been lost. Depending on the selected sensitivity, the tests can be executed with different strictness.

13.1.1 Description of Parameters

Parameter Description

Check This option enables or disables your camera's file server check.

Tests Select the tests you would like to perform.

Ping server will check if the file server responds to network packets.•

Check transfer will assert if it is possible to write data to the file server.•

Checking for Lost events will verify that recent events have been written to

the file server.

•

If the file server test is running, a link to the log file is displayed. The log file contains

messages (error and success messages) and measurement values (transfer buffer

usage, numbers of last internal and transferred event).

Rebooting the camera will delete the log file contents.

Sensitivity Select the sensitivity of the tests. Selecting high will use stricter test criteria and will

notify you early if problems occur. Selecting low will use less strict test settings and

notification will be delayed.

13.2 Error Notification

In order to notify you of any problems that the file server may be having, you can let the camera transfer an

image to an FTP server or have it send the error message using an e−mail or an IP Notify message. If the

camera is connected to ISDN, it can also call you on the phone to let you know that an error condition has

been detected. The camera itself can use its loudspeaker to play an audio message or it can activate its LEDs

to alert you of an error condition.

Moreover, you can set an interval to repeat the error notification until the error condition has been removed.
