3.10. NAS Settings
The IP Camera has the ability to record video files to any standard NAS (Network
Access Storage) device. The IP camera connects to the NAS device using the
standard LMX_NS/CIFS/SSN protocols, which are the same as the Microsoft
Windows network neighborhood protocols. This ability turns a standard NAS into a
NVR (Network Video Recorder) device.
Note: when the IP camera is performing NAS recording it counts are one video
user. Please refer to Appendix B for more information about the maximum number of
video users.
1. If the "Always Recording” option is selected, the system will start to record to the
NAS storage device immediately and will continue to record until the NAS device
is full or recording is turned off. If the "Schedule Recording” option is selected, the
system will perform NAS recording according to the preset schedule, as explained
in section 3.11. The "Disable Recording” option disables NAS recording.
2. When NAS recording is taking place the system will check the free disk space of
the NAS device. If the free disk space is less than the specified number, the
system will do "Circular recording” (overwrite the oldest recorded files of this IP
CAM on the NAS device) or will "Stop recording”, as selected. If the "Keep
recorded video for xx days” option is selected, the system will do circular recording
and over write any recorded video files older than xx days.
3. The IP camera can connect to the NAS device by using the "NAS name” or "NAS
IP address”. If the NAS device and the IP camera are in the same local area
network, the IP camera can automatically locate and connect to the NAS device
using the "NAS name”. If the NAS device uses a fixed IP address (either in the
local area network or in the public internet), the IP camera can connect to it by
using the "NAS IP address” option.
4. The "Shared folder name” is the folder on the NAS device in which recorded video
files by this IP CAM will be stored.
5. The "NAS access account” and "NAS access password” are the username and
password needed to login to the specified "Shared folder name” on the NAS
device.
6. NAS Scan – use this option to scan for specific NAS devices in the local area
network. Not all the NAS devices are supported for this scan function.
7. NAS Info – displays the NAS storage capacity and available disk space.
8. Configure NAS (web) – click this to connect to the web configuration page of the
NAS device. You will need to enter the login username/password of the NAS
device.
