3.9. NAS settings
The IP Camera provides the recording of the video files into a standard NAS
( Network Access Storage ) device. The IP camera connects to the NAS device using
the standard LMX_NS/CIFS/SSN protocols that are the same as the Microsoft
Windows network neighborhood protocols. This makes the IP camera easily record
the video files to all the standard NAS devices in the market. Since there are a lot of
different choices, including prices and scales, users can decide by themselves which
is best for their needs. By using this function, the standard NAS device is becoming a
NVR ( Network Video Recorder ) device.
Notice : when the IP camera is doing NAS recording, this is counted as one video
user. Please refer to appendix B about allowed maximum video users.
1. If the “Always Recording” is selected, the system will start to record to the NAS
storage device immediately and keep recording always. If the “Schedule
Recording” is selected, the system will do the NAS recording according to the
“scheduling” in section 3.10. “Disable Recording” will disable this NAS recording.
2. When doing the NAS recording, 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 camera in
the NAS device ) or “Stop recording” as selected. If the “keep recorded video for
xx days” is selected, the system will do circular recording and over write the
recorded video files older than xx days ago.
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
by 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 the “NAS
IP address”.
4. The “Shared folder name” is the folder in the NAS device that will record the video
files of the IP camera.
5. The “NAS access account” and “NAS access password” are the username and
password to login into the specified “Shared folder name” of the NAS device.
In the Microsoft Windows environment, you can access to the NAS device by
keying the URL address \\”NAS name”\”shared folder name” or \\”NAS IP
address”\”shared folder name” in the windows Internet Explorer, and then key in the
“NAS access account” and “NAS access password” to the prompted login window.
The video files are recorded under the subfolder IPCamRecordFiles/Recording/ID-ID,
