3-10 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 some of
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.
Notice: *For the NAS compatible list, please check www.edimax.com
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 3-11.
“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.
