buffered before the event. The maximum amount is
number of frames for a [JPEG] selection and number

Format].

Important
• If the upload function is used, either the [Event] menu must
be set (p. 67) or the [Event] tab in the Intelligent Function
Setting Tool (p. 114) must be set.
• If you are using both e-mail notification by text and image
and image upload by HTTP/FTP, set [Video Size: Upload /
Memory card] (p. 57) to a small size.
• HTTP upload does not support SSL/TLS.
• If the camera is set to perform upload or e-mail notification
continuously, not all images or e-mails may be sent
depending on the video size and the network condition to the
server. In this case, an event log message is displayed
(p. 84).
• If the destination for HTTP/FTP upload or e-mail notification is
set for a Windows operating system, IPsec communication
cannot be applied.
• When an H.264 video is uploaded, the following restrictions
apply to [H.264(1)] of [Video].
- Only [Use bit rate control] can be selected for [Bit Rate
Control].
- Only [3072] or less can be selected for [Target Bit Rate
(kbps)].
- Only one of [0.5], [1], and [1.5] can be selected for [I
Frame Interval (sec)].
• The maximum image buffer size capacity is approx. 5 MB.
If a large video size is set, the Frame Rate, Pre-event Buffer
and Post-event Buffer may not be achieved as specified.
• If buffering cannot be achieved as specified, a message is
written to the event log (p. 84).
Before using a large video size, confirm that no messages
appear in the event log.
Note
The server or network load may increase and the frame rate may
drop, depending on the settings. If this occurs, try the following
measures. Also check the settings including the network to the
server.
• Reduce the image file size:
– Set a lower value under [Video Quality] for [JPEG]/
[H.264(1)] (p. 57).
– Set a lower value for [Video Size: Upload / Memory card] for
[JPEG] (p. 57).
– Set a lower value for [Video Size] for [H.264(1)] (p. 58).
– Set a lower value under [Target Bit Rate (kbps)] for
[H.264(1)] (p. 58).
