Cameras via an FTP Connection
For guidance on locating and changing a third party IP camera's username and password via an FTP
connection; please see below:
Open a File Transfer Protocol (FTP) client to connect to the unit, refer to the FTP client's supporting
documentation for guidance on how to connect to the SD Excel.
Note:
The URL of the unit will be required before a connection can be made.
No username/password is required for an FTP connection by default. If they have been assigned
however, these must be entered before access will be allowed.
FTP access username/passwords can be configured via the 'Admin FTP' option displayed in the 'User
Accounts' menu (Display menu->User Accounts).
When access to the unit has been granted, navigate to the 'etc' folder.
Within this folder, located the ip_cams.ini file.
This file contains all username/password data for all connected IP cameras.
This file can be viewed or edited, refer to the FTP client supporting documentation for guidance on
viewing and editing files. If a file is updated, ensure it is reloaded to the unit before exiting the FTP client.
