Re: NAS support on IP2M-841W

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.

Re: "Input Abnormality" alarm - what is it?

Hello,
Under the settings there a place where you can set up email alerts for abnormal situations such as no SD card or SD card error. If this is a DVR, you might get this when there is no signal from a particular channel. You can turn of this feature if you do not wish to receive emails on this.

Re: Auto maintain - remove all old files ?

Hello,
We will test that feature to see how exactly it works. I believe that if it reaches 6 days, that night at midnight it will remove everything from the previous day.It wouldn't do it right as soon as you set the setting
