How to verify that End of Day (EoD) uploads are functioning

This guide will show you how to verify End of Day (EoD) uploads are functioning for the photoSentinel Mach II on Mach II firmware.

Verify End of Day uploads are functioning by doing the following steps:

1. In Buildcam, go to Feeds and open the feed (or open the camera from within its project).
2. Open the Diagnostics tab.
3. Above the logs, set the date range and click Apply, then open the System Log sub-tab. Look for the End of Day scheduled photo entries at the beginning of the EoD session and check that the photo timestamps are as expected.
4. If there are no photos being scheduled or uploaded, open the Schedule tab.
5. Scroll down to End of Day Uploading and check that the configuration is searching back far enough and/or that the custom date range covers the period of any outages.
   • Otherwise, it may mean that the system has not missed any uploads, or they have previously been scheduled and failed to upload twice. After photos have failed to upload twice, the system will not make another attempt without assistance from photoSentinel Support.
6. Back on the Diagnostics tab, check the System Log for End of Day uploaded photo entries. If a timestamp is from a previous date, it may indicate the EoD uploads are in backlog. Usually this means the backlog will continue to pile up, as it is not able to keep up with the number of new images being taken.

Try one or more of the following solutions:

• Increase EoD session length so more uploads occur each night.
• Increase how many images are uploaded during the regular upload session, to reduce the number of new photos scheduled in each EoD session.
• Manually retrieve images, then contact Support to clear the EoD queue.

If the timestamp is from the current day, then the EoD uploads are working correctly.
