An FTP server for IP cameras is an online security camera storage option, which allows you to upload and save CCTV images and videos to a network platform.

By uploading security camera footage to FTP servers, you may enjoy these advantages without paying expensive subscription fees:

1. Back up important data. You won't need to be afraid of losing IP camera videos even if the 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, 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.

4. Schedule transferring time at night or on weekends to avoid slowing down your network speed at daytime.
