Server FAQ

• How to run multiple servers?
  Create copies of WebcamServer folders, choose different ports and snapshot folders

• What is the "timestamp format"?
  The default format is "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS"

yyyy = year
MM = month
dd = day
HH = hours
mm = minutes
ss = seconds
SSS = milliseconds

Examples:

yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS -> 2018-01-29 14:59:03.340
yyyy-MM-dd -> 2018-01-29
HH:mm:ss -> 14:59:03
HH.mm.ss dd/MM/yyyy -> 14.59.03 29/01/2018

• How to reset the configuration?
  Delete the file "settings.txt" in the same folder as "WebcamServer.jar"
