Business plan users can leverage the ability to store events on a NAS device. This allows for redundant storage in the case of an internet outage.NAS SetupLog into your account and go to the Username -> Settings menu. Click Add NASFill in all the NAS information.NAS Name - any label you want to give your NAS setupInternal IP - This is the IP where the NAS is running. This must be on the same network as your camera. Share Name - i.e. myshare\\myfolder Make sure you've created a share name on the NAS previously. If not you can still do this after this setup.IMPORTANT: Use different share names for different camera types to avoid conflicts. For example, if you have Axis and Hanwha camera going to the same NAS use different share names: axisshare, hanwhashare. Also, pay attention to sub-folders. They may be represented in different ways. i.e. myshare\\subdir or myshare/subdirIMPORTANT: Certain camera manufacturers (i.e. Hanwha Techwin) have issues using the same share name. To be safe always use different share folders for each and every camera.Username - This is the username of the NASPassword - This is the password of the NASAttach a NAS to a CameraNow that we have set up a NAS we can now attach it to a camera.Log into your account.Select your camera and use the small arrow next to the name to bring up the menu. Select Edge Storage.A new window will appear with SD card (if available) as the default. Select the NAS tab.Select the NAS Device you created earlier and select Mount. You can use the Test button to verify it is all working.Note: When you first go to the NAS tab, you may see a Disk Status and it's showing you can Unmount the device. However, if you don't see a NAS device in your list that means an existing NAS may have existed on the camera. In that case, Unmount first then go ahead and add the NAS.Set Edge Storage Events to ON and then select the Record Mode type, Continuous or Event triggers. Note that this may vary by camera model. In addition, you may see a Quality setting to apply to the NAS events. Note that Advanced Edge Analytics (such as tampering, face detection, etc.) are NOT supported for NAS devices.Click Save to start storing it to the NAS.Viewing NAS EventsNote that not all camera models are able to show play or download events on the timeline. See below for camera model specifics.Right next to the Go Live/Live button you will have a filter. Click the filter icon to show specific storage locations. In this case, select NAS.The timeline will be populated with specific events. Note: this can take time to load events especially with a large time scale (i.e. 24 hrs)In the diagram above there are several items being displayed.The first 3 cameras will show events but it doesn't support playback. Therefore they are not clickable. In the current timeline only the "Hikvision D..." has some continuous recording events. However, you can not click on them to play.The "Axis 5013" has some recent events. In the diagram above one area has been selected in the timeline by clicking on it. It starts trying to load the events for playback (as shown with the diagonal stripes). Clicking on one area in the timeline will fetch a larger chunk of video for optimized playback.Any dark grey area as shown in the image above is an indication that either the NAS has failed to return the resulting event or there was a communication error with the NAS at that point.Once any event plays you can download directly. Of course, you can always just go to the NAS to pull any events from there as well. Camera Model SpecificsAxis:Full support.Hanwha:Plug and Play:Full SupportPort Forward:It does NOT support NAS playback. You can only see events in the timeline but to play them you need to get them from the NAS itselfSubdirectories for the NAS share are NOT supportedVivotek:Configuration of events to the NAS but you cannot list them on the timeline. You need to go to your NAS device.Hikvision:Does not support NAS playback. You can only see events in the timeline but to play them you need to get them from the NAS itself.Amcrest:No support for NASTroubleshootingCareful of the date/time setup on your camera!!! If you don't set the time correctly the events won't match on your timeline.Current Hanwha firmware versions have some limitations in their handling of Daylight Savings Time (DST) and edge storage media. Try toggling DST if you have issues.Playback from NAS on Hanwha Techwin cameras can take several minutes for a clip to load. This is due to the large file size of video clips getting sent directly from the camera to your computer in real-time. Hanwha Techwin cameras have issues showing media from the NAS when they've been set up previously for the NAS. It's recommended to start fresh and factory default the camera.Axis camera won't mount the share: Axis has disabled SMB 1.0 and SMB 2.0 by default as of firmware 8.30.1. For NAS that doesn’t support SMB 3.0, the deprecated support can be manually re-enabled: https://www.axis.com/support/faq/FAQ116392.This will vary per NAS. As an example here are the QNAP instructions for enabling SMB 3.0: https://www.qnap.com/en/how-to/tutorial/article/how-to-use-smb-3-0-in-qts-4-2/Note: In this case, we made the NAS mount using the first part only. Control Panel → Network Services → Win/Mac/NFS → Microsoft Networking → Advanced Options: Set the “Highest SMB version” to “SMB 3.0”. When you change to use SMB 3.0 encryption, the Axis camera won't mount the share.
