GY-LS300

The GY-LS300 uploads completed clips to arbitrary FTP, SFTP, implicit FTPS, or explicit FTPES servers through a supported HOST USB adapter. The camera and browser interfaces provide single, multiple, all, and OK-marked clip selection.

TRANSPORT

Wi-Fi adapter through HOST USB + Ethernet adapter through HOST USB + cellular modem through HOST USB

The documented network paths available to the camera or its required transmitter.

PAYLOAD

recorded video clips on SD media

File behavior is quoted conservatively until a Camera to Anywhere fixture reproduces it.

TRIGGER

manual clip upload from thumbnail view / selected or all-clip upload / browser-triggered clip upload

Transfer can begin from the documented camera-side behavior shown here.

STATUS

Documented.
Not lab-verified.

FTP resume was added in firmware 2.04; use the newest compatible firmware. Resume remains unavailable when SFTP is selected; use JVC's current supported-adapter list. Physical Camera to Anywhere interoperability is not yet lab-verified.

Gather these items first, then enter the Camera to Anywhere job credential exactly as issued. The camera sends to the public ingest edge; your private destinations stay downstream.

PREREQUISITES
  1. 01

    Current manufacturer firmware.

  2. 02

    A supported HOST USB Wi-Fi, Ethernet, or cellular adapter.

  3. 03

    A recorded test clip.

  4. 04

    Camera to Anywhere server, protocol, port, credentials, and directory.

  5. 05

    Known secure-protocol server fingerprint.

CONNECTION FIELDS

Alias

Short destination name.

Appears in the FTP Upload chooser.

Protocol

FTP, SFTP, FTPS (implicit), or FTPES (explicit).

Matches endpoint security.

Server

Hostname or IP only.

Identifies the receiver.

Port

Assigned listener port.

Selects the correct service.

Dir. Path

Assigned remote input path.

Routes the clip.

Username

Per-source username.

Authenticates and identifies the source.

Password

Issued password.

Completes authentication.

PASV Mode

On for FTP-family protocols behind NAT; unavailable for SFTP.

Provides a firewall-friendly data channel.

WHAT ACTUALLY MOVES

Transfer behavior,
without the guesswork.

TRANSFER MODES
  • This clip
  • Selected clips
  • All clips
  • Browser all/OK/selected upload
  • Background transfer
MEDIA BEHAVIOR
  • Uploads completed SD-card clips.
  • Progress and stop controls are available.
  • Secure protocols request fingerprint confirmation.
  • A same-name destination file triggers overwrite confirmation unless the connection uses an HTTP FTP proxy.
  • Camera mode can be restored while upload continues.
LIMITS + WARNINGS
  • A supported HOST USB adapter is required.
  • An HTTP FTP proxy restricts the connection to FTP and suppresses overwrite confirmation.
  • Browser operations are disabled while a browser-initiated upload is running.
  • Do not overwrite a same-name destination file until its identity is verified.
FIELD VERIFICATION

Prove the path before the green flag.

Run this checklist on the exact body, firmware, network, and media format you will use on assignment.

  1. 01Firmware is current.
  2. 02Adapter and network IP are valid.
  3. 03Profile and fingerprint are verified.
  4. 04One clip uploads with matching bytes.
  5. 05A browser-selected clip reaches the same destination.
  6. 06A same-name test prompts before overwrite when no HTTP FTP proxy is configured.
TROUBLESHOOTING

If it will not send,
start here.

01Cannot connect

Verify adapter, IP/DNS/gateway, host, port, and venue firewall.

02Invalid login/path

Correct profile credentials and Dir. Path.

03Fingerprint differs

Stop and verify the endpoint rather than accepting an unexpected key/certificate.

04Transfer repeatedly times out

Use a more stable network path and retry the same completed clip.

BEFORE FIELD USE

Documentation gets us to the menu. Hardware earns the badge.

This guide compiles all discovered FTP-related setup evidence for this model, but it is not a promise that every firmware version and venue network will behave identically. Verification records the exact body, firmware, access point, protocol, payload, and result.
