Address

that you use DNS. Windows SMB/CIFS names are not supported.

network share, since each device gets its own folder.

to negotiate one of the secure versions SMB: 3.02, 3.0, or 2.1. Select 1.0 or 2.0 to connect to older NAS that don’t
support higher versions. You can read more about SMB support in Axis devices
