- Then goto FTP accounts, create a new username. Note the created username after you click create.

- Setup your IPCAM. Goto FTP service settings.

FTP server = your 8tar.com FTP host.

FTP port = your 8tar.com FTP port.

FTP user = your 8tar.com FTP accounts username (look at the sample screenshot).

FTP password = the ftp account password.

FTP upload folder = /

FTP mode = PORT.
