Chapter 3: Using the Web Interface
Identifying Snapshots Folders on Remote Servers
If saving snapshots onto a remote server, you can access those
snapshots via an appropriate third-party application, such as an FTP
client.
All snapshots are saved as JPEG and named according to the date and
time when saving the snapshots. Note that the date and time of the
filename are based on the time zone of the BCM2 device rather than that
of the computer or mobile device you are operating.
Tip: To check the time zone of your BCM2 device, choose Device Settings >
Date/Time. See
Setting the Date and Time
(on page 226).
The structure of a snapshots folder looks similar to the diagram below.
User-
defined parent directory, whose name depends your server
settings, such as your FTP configuration.
Serial number of your BCM2 device where the webcam is
connected. For example,
PH85350018
.
To find your BCM2 serial number, see
(on page
306).
The name of the webcam that BCM2 detects first.
This is the folder where the snapshots captured by the first
webcam are stored.
The first webcam's default name is "Webcam".
You can customize the webcam's name, which will change
the snapshots folder's name.
See
Configuring Webcams and Viewing Live Images
(on
page
333).
If the webcam's location is important, you can customize the
webcam's name based on its location when configuring
BCM2 to save snapshots onto a remote server.
