Helix NVRs support both FTP (File Transfer Protocol) or SFTP which are both a standard network protocol used for the transfer of computer files between a client and server on a computer network. FTP can be set up for each channel directly from your NVR and will store events to a selected user interface or FTP client. For more information on how to set up FTP on your NVR please refer to the information provided below.

The events detected by the device will now be directed to store and can be accessed in the FTP remote directory folder specified.
