All images are sent to either the Eyercloud system or a user configured server. To establish a connection to a server, click on “Options”, then “Servers”, followed by selecting the icon and choosing the appropriate server type.

These settings are required regardless of the type of server being configured:

        Primary: Default server used by Eyercloud. Cannot be removed, only disabled.
        Mirror: All the data generated by the device will be sent to the primary server and any mirror(s) configured.
        Contingency: Used only in case of Primary server failure.
        Manual: not used automatically, but is available for manual transfer.
2. Name: server identifier, is NOT unique.
3. Key: Generated automatically based o nthe server name. Unique and follow the format of three upper case letters (A to Z), followed by a dash (-), followed by three numbers (0 to 9)..
