GY-HM200

The GY-HM200 can upload completed SD-card clips to four configurable FTP, SFTP, implicit FTPS, or explicit FTPES destinations through a supported HOST USB network adapter. The HM200-only network workflow supports camera and browser selection; current feature documentation also adds resumable FTP-family transfers.

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.

The shared manual marks networking and FTP as GY-HM200-only features; GY-HM170 is excluded. Use current firmware; FTP resume is unavailable with SFTP. Physical Camera to Anywhere interoperability is not yet lab-verified.

PREREQUISITES
  1. 01

    Current GY-HM200 firmware; the shared HM200/HM170 manual marks FTP networking as HM200-only.

  2. 02

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

  3. 03

    A recorded test clip.

  4. 04

    Camera to Anywhere host, protocol, port, credentials, and remote directory.

  5. 05

    Expected server fingerprint for SFTP/FTPS/FTPES.

CONNECTION FIELDS

Alias

Short destination/job name.

Shown in the upload action screen.

Protocol

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

Matches endpoint encryption.

Server

Camera to Anywhere hostname or IP.

Identifies ingress.

Port

Exact assigned listener port.

Routes to the correct protocol service.

Dir. Path

Assigned remote directory.

Routes the clip to the intended input.

Username

Per-source username.

Authenticates and identifies the camera.

Password

Issued password.

Completes authentication.

PASV Mode

On for FTP/FTPS/FTPES behind NAT; unavailable for SFTP.

Uses passive data connections.

WHAT ACTUALLY MOVES

Transfer behavior,
without the guesswork.

TRANSFER MODES
  • Single clip
  • Multiple selected clips
  • All playable clips
  • Browser all/OK/selected upload
  • Background upload while returning to Camera mode
  • Resume for supported non-SFTP transfers
MEDIA BEHAVIOR
  • Uploads completed video clips, not a live feed.
  • The current SD slot/thumbnail view controls selection.
  • Progress and stop controls are displayed.
  • Secure protocols prompt for fingerprint verification.
  • A same-name smaller remote file can be treated as a partial transfer and offer Resume.
LIMITS + WARNINGS
  • The GY-HM170 in the shared manual does not have this FTP workflow.
  • A supported HOST USB adapter is required.
  • Resume is disabled for SFTP and an HTTP FTP proxy.
  • An HTTP proxy supports only FTP and can change duplicate-overwrite behavior.
  • Adapter support and firmware should be checked before an event.
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. 01Supported adapter has an IP.
  2. 02Correct Clip Server profile is selected.
  3. 03Fingerprint is approved.
  4. 04One short clip reaches the destination.
  5. 05Remote filename and byte size match.
  6. 06A controlled interruption resumes only its own partial file.
TROUBLESHOOTING

If it will not send,
start here.

01FTP menus unavailable

Confirm the body is GY-HM200, networking is enabled, and a supported adapter is detected.

02Cannot connect

Verify network addressing, host, port, protocol, and venue egress.

03Authentication or path error

Correct Username, Password, and Dir. Path.

04Resume unavailable

Use a resume-capable FTP/FTPS/FTPES server, no HTTP proxy, and a smaller partial file of the same name.

05Secure connection prompt

Validate the displayed fingerprint against the approved endpoint value.

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.
