An FTP server for IP cameras is an online security camera storage option. It allows you to upload and save CCTV images and videos to a network platform.
Whether or not a Reolink product can support FTP uploading depends both on the product model and the hardware version. To know if your Reolink device supports FTP, refer to: Which Cameras/NVRs Support FTP Uploading.
By uploading security camera footage to FTP servers, you can enjoy these advantages without paying expensive subscription fees:
1. Back up important data. There is no need to be worried about losing IP camera videos even if burglars have stolen or broken your security cameras.
2. Access the IP camera FTP servers to watch CCTV footage on mobile devices at any time and anywhere.
3. Transfer large files in a fast and secure manner. FTP servers for IP cameras are able to save transferring progress in case of network connection failure.
