Possible to make snapshot.cgi *not* save a file?

[mfarley281]

If I open my browser to http://192.168.1.27/cgi-bin/snapshot.cgi I see a single jpg of the camera as expected. However, it also sends a snapshot to the FTP server defined.

Is there any way to make the camera *not* send a copy of the snapshot to the ftp server when I view that URL in the browser?

(I need to keep the FTP server configured and snap shots sending for *motion events*, but not when I just browse to snapshot.cgi)

Update: I found an HTTP API setting "table.RecordStoragePoint[0].ManualSnapShot.FTP" and changed it from 'true' to 'false', but it made no difference.

http://192.168.1.28/cgi-bin/configManag ... oragePoint

Anyone have any ideas how to make snapshot.cgi stop saving to the FTP site I have defined?

I have run into the same issue. How did you change "table.RecordStoragePoint[0].ManualSnapShot.FTP" to false?

What is the syntax to the url? I looked in the cgi referenece but could not find it.

Did you find a solution?

Still haven't found a solution.. this is the URL that's supposed to make the change:

http://#.#.#.#/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=setConfig&RecordStoragePoint[0].ManualSnapshot.FTP=false

Sorry to bump an old topic...

I'm having a similar issue, trying to disable saving snapshot images to the SD Card. I see a similar key to the one in the above post in the output from "/cgi-bin/configManager.cgi?action=getConfig&name=RecordStoragePoint", namely "table.RecordStoragePoint[0].ManualSnapShot.Local=true". However, if I try to set it to false (with action=setConfig), I get a response of:

Error
ErrorID=5, Detail=Server internal error!

Has anyone had any success with this issue? Is anyone using action=setConfig on "RecordStoragePoint" for anything else?
