odd behavior - server? or router? or camera(s) ?
« on: June 27, 2012, 04:51:34 PM »

    My two separate IP cameras (a 930 and a 932) use ftp to store jpgs at my web site based upon motion detection. I use a php script to review images from a chosen day and half-hour interval.
Typically a jpg is about 45 kB; anywhere from none to about 300 may be stored in each half-hour folder, within a given day's folders. These half-hour interval parameters are set in the cameras.
    Today on several occasions (maybe yesterday also) the site has stored several 0 byte ".jpg" files, from BOTH cameras, which brings my php script to a halt.
    Also today, both cameras (at about the same time) deposited a timestamped folder INSIDE a timestamped folder where the jpgs normally go, which is not the proper behavior.
   What would you guess - something weird going on with the servers, or my router, or simultaneously in the 2 cameras ?

Can you check the FTP logs on your web server?  It might contain come clues.  I don't think it would be both cameras but rather firewall and/or FTP server related.  Anything change on the server or router such as a reboot or power outage?

@peterd -
Well, it's a shared server (1and1) - I don't know how to find more info - I've got a message in to their tech support ...
