FTP Username: The username of your WD M圜loud.

This way it will be easier later to separate between the different cameras.

If you are having more than one camera, we recommend you to also add another sub folder for each camera, in our case „Camera_LivingRoom“. In our case it was the folder „Recordings“.

FTP Folder: You will have to type in the folder name which you have created before as a shared Folder on your M圜loud.

FTP Port: Please leave it Port 21 which is used for FTP.

As an alternative you can also type in wdmycloud.local

FTP Server: Here you will need to type in the IP address of your WD M圜loud.Step 11: In the FTP mask please fill in the following data: Once it is opened, please click on „Alarm – FTP“ on the left menu bar to open the FTP settings. You can either type in the IP address of your camera in the address bar of your web browser, or you can use the INSTAR camera tool to search for your camera and to open it in the default web browser. To do so, please open the web interface of your INSTAR camera. Step 10: Finally, we have to set up our camera by typing in all the FTP data. Now you still need to choose if a anonymous user can access the folder or not, in this case we recommend you to select Anonymous None“ which means that no one can access the recordings besides you. In order to be able to access it by FTP, you will need to activate the FTP access. Step 9: The newly created shared Folder should now already be selected. Once you typed in the Share Name and Description please „Apply“ the settings.

You can also add a description to the folder name. In our case we choose the folder name „Recordings“. Step 8: For Share Name you can now type in the folder name in which you want the recordings being stored. Therefore please click on „Shares“ in the upper menu and inside this menu please click on the + sign in order to add a shared Folder. In order to tell the camera in which folder it should record, we will need to set up a shared Folder. Step 7: The FTP Access in general is now activated. Step 6: Once again select „Network“ and within the network services please switch the FTP Access to „ON“. Once logged in, please click the right arrow again in the upper menu and click on „Settings“. Step 5: You have to login again once the IP has been changed to a static IP. This IP address will be the one with which you can access your WD M圜loud at any time. Please remember the IP address shown in Step2. You actually only have to click on „Next“ and „Apply“ in order to apply the settings. Step 4: Follow the assistant to assign a static IP address. In this case the camera would not be able to reach it anymore and therefore will not record anymore to the M圜loud. If you are noting switching it to static, it could be that your router will assign a different IP address to your M圜loud. This is important to make sure that the IP address of your M圜loud is not changing. Step 3: On the left side please click on „Network“ and within the network services please switch the IPv4 Network Mode to „static“. Step 2: In the upper menu please click on the arrow to the right side and select „Settings“. Step 1: Open the WD M圜loud in your web browser by typing in the address bar of your web browser.
