NAS support on IP2M-841W

[xkey]

The user manual does not help much.

Wanted to record video and save it to a home nas, CIFS is on, should I just enter NAS IP as server address. For example, the storage can be viewed on windows as

\\server\path\video

So I used the following for amcrest config
1. Enable
2. server address: IP of Server
3. Remote: /path/video

But it doesn't work. Any idea?

Hello,
The NAS device has to support and have enabled NFS, Network File System, the Linux, Unix standard for sharing files. Please check if your NAS support NFS and have it enabled.

thanks, this helps. it now starts to upload dav files to NFS

Question. 1) why playback cannot use video stored on NFS, but only on SDCard?

2) what is other tools that I can use to replay these video streams in dav format?

3) Can I limit the size of storage. or auto delete w/o having to wait for disk full?

Ignore my question about how to play dav file, got answer from your support website https://amcrest.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/ar ... deo-Files-

Hello,
Good to know it works for you. The camera interface is designed to only look for SD card files for play back. Its unfortunately not possible to set a limit for recording. Guess you already found the Amcrest Smart play for playing back .dav files.

I have a synology NAS and the Surveillance Station app works much better than the Amcrest Smart Play in my opinion but I wish that the Playback would support not only SD Card but NAS as well, also, would be nice to be able to record to more than one destination.
