Transmitting Files via the Hot Folder

The Hot Folder function allows you to transmit files (e.g., photos) automatically over unmanaged networks wherever the action is taking place. This function uses an FTP push to transmit files following the FIFO method (First In, First Out).

  • Please refer to the procedure about deleting files in (4.1) Deleting Files from the SD Card.

  • Files can be transmitted according to 2 priority levels (standard or priority), as defined on the device that transmits the files.
