Check it remains this way by going to another menu and returning. It can take a few minutes before it completes the placeholder files and folders layout and shows status=Normal. In the Storage Management tab, select the HDD destination and click the "Format" button. In the camera web GUI, storage menu, add a NAS destination using only the share name (eg /cctv) at the NAS tab, with either NFS or SMB/CIFS file sharing protocol as appropriate, ensure the Test button yields "Success!" A user quota can also be used to limit the space the camera has access to. A 200GB volume works OK, firmware above 5.2.8 extends that limit a lot, though I don't know exactly how much. This is where the flexible volume management facility really helps. The volume size (not free space) you can use varies with the camera firmware version. On the NAS, create a share, easiest with NFS, but OK with SMB/CIFS if you also create a user with write permissions. It's not a military-grade device with a parylene conformal coating.īut on the recording to NAS - the steps are somewhat as follows: The NAS does not consume much power, so it could become cool enough for damaging condensation in cold damp conditions. Off site backup is my religion and i dont trust the cloud Also my NAS is offcourse connected to my internal network but no ports has been opened for the outside world and sensitive data is always kept in an encrypted state.īut watch out for the dewpoint in your locked shed. My data is backed up in my house on a seperate harddrive and on my NAS, which lives in my securely locked shed that is by the way also connected to my alarm system. I am very serious about my data backup, working with IT everyday has probably damaged me a bit. 32Gbyte cards and put one inside each camera to have the video feed recorded in 2 places in case the NAS got stolen for example. So i can set it up to record to the NAS as well as the internal SD card ? (Please tell me how ) Well it just so happens that i bought 3 HIKVision DS-2CD2532F-IS camera's. When I went through the licence transfer process, due to an upgrade, I did have to do some chasing and justification before it finally concluded, but as Kurt stated, it is certainly feasible. I looked and it does not seem like it is available for download´anywhere so i will just have to wait.ĪlastairStevenson wrote:If in the unlikely case that you have Hikvision cameras - you can get them to record to a QNAP NAS share (especially with the ability to set the volume size arbitrarily with the newish flexible management) and to use the camera's in-built mini-NVR capabilities. Regarding the new SS, i understand that i need 4.20. If i dont buy the license, i can just as easily buy a NAS from a competitor. Just seems stupid that they would not guarantee this as if they did, i would probably buy the license and then be more inclined to buy a QNAP Nas when i want to upgrade. I guess that i will just have to make do with the 2 licenses and have the last camera record to it's internal SD Card. Ok, it's just that i dont want to buy a license that i can not transfer if i buy a new NAS in the future. The newer versions of SS are conditional upon the newer QTS 4.2 Build xxx (still Beta as far as I know) being installed. I did this when I upgraded my QNAP NAS, though I did get the impression it's not a guaranteed result. If i buy a third license will it be transferable to a new QNAP box if i decide to buy a new one some day or is the licenses only valid for my current box.ĭespite it being written (or it used to be - I have not checked for a while) that the licences are not transferrable it should be possible to convince the SS Product Manager to authorise a licence transfer in response to a HelpDesk request.
