A reboot usually makes sense if a camera is connected to DSL and uses its
DynDNS client to update the DNS entry. Cameras, which are subjected to
high amounts of ultra-violet or EM radiation (e.g. at high altitudes, Antarctica,
etc.) should also run this task to prevent malfunctioning. A reboot resets the
camera to a predefined state, even if some parts of the camera software are
not working properly. This feature also ensures permanent availability of
cameras, which are hard to reach (e.g. on power or cable car towers, wind
generators, offshore riggs) and thus saves costs and manpower.
It is not recommended to deactivate or delete this task. Note that the camera
will not be available for about one minute after rebooting.
• FTP current image: This task will execute the selected FTP profile at the
specified points in time to update a camera image on a website, for exam-
ple.
If the list does not contain an FTP profile, create a profile Admin Menu > FTP
Profiles.
• FTP event tar file: This task will execute the selected FTP profile at the speci-
fied points in time. All stored images or video sequences are compressed
into one archive file and this file is uploaded to a website or an FTP server.
Note that the archive file may get large as it contains all stored images.
Apart from the stored JPEG images, the archive file also contains an
index.html file with JavaScript code. This HTML file allows playing back the
event images and the corresponding pre- and post-alarm images in a
browser window without requiring access to the camera itself. It thus allows
evaluating the images without using an additional application and inde-
pendent of any operating system; all you need is a JavaScript-enabled
browser.
If the list does not contain an FTP profile, create a profile Admin Menu > FTP
Profiles.
• E-Mail: This task will execute the selected e-mail profile at the specified
points in time to send a camera image to an e-mail account, for example.
If the list does not contain an e-mail profile, create a profile Admin Menu >
E-Mail Profiles.
• Phone Profile: This task will execute the selected phone profile at the speci-
fied points in time to place a phone call using ISDN or IP telephony (SIP), for
example (see also chapter 9,
Telephony Functions
). If the list does not contain
a phone profile, create a profile Admin Menu > Phone Profiles.
