I played with my Dahua camera a bit this weekend. I also have a Hikvision camera, synology DS1815+, and a Windows server 2012R2.
I have my Hikvision camera set to record videos to my NFS share on my Windows 2012R2 server. It works perfectly. And I use iVMS to playback and view multiple Hikvision cameras.
Dahua cameras is supposed to work the same way. However, I can't get the Dahua camera to record. After you enter the NAS (they should have called it NFS) server ip and the share, unlike Hikvision that you can then test and "format" the share, you can't tell if the Dahua camera sees the share.
I am deciding to use Hikvision or Dahua. It seems like Hikvision is doing better recording to NFS.
BTW, I prefer not to use FTP because I read that you can't recycle the storage. With FTP, recording will stop when share is full unless you use some sort of script to clean up the old files.
I understand one NFS share is meant for one camera and the size is supposed to be "not changing" so I created one partition on the hdd for one share and one camera only.
Anyone got Dahua camera to record to NFS share?? Can you please share how you do it?
Anyone got NFS sharing working on DD-WRT router using USB 3.0 port?
This doesn't help much:
