Log Windows
The Log windows let you set up and view the IP camera log file, which captures information about the
IP camera and its activities.
The IP camera stores the log file in its internal SDRAM. If the SDRAM becomes full, the IP camera
begins to overwrite existing information. To avoid losing log information, you can configure the IP
