6.13.1 Cloud storage for snapshots
When a recorder is stolen or damaged, all recordings will be
lost. However, it is possible to automatically save snapshots to
a cloud (storage space on an external server) provided that the
recorder is connected to the Internet. The images can then be
called up via a protected access to the cloud:
1) Sign up to the "Dropbox" website:
https://www.dropbox.com
2) Call up the menu "Device" and then click the submenu
"Cloud".
