I've no idea whether this is a problem with the camera or the Disk Station or both... or just me, so I'll describe what I've tried in the hope someone can help me get at least one way working.
Thanks in advance.
Hikvision DS-2CD2132F-IS V5.2.5 build 141201
Synology DS211 with Surveillance Station (fully updated)
Camera itself connects and views fine. Static IP, everything on the same subnet.
Surveillance Station
Configured with closest model: DS-2CD2132-I (no F or S). "Test Connection" works OK, but only with port 80, which is the camera's HTTP port as default - tried Service port 8000 but Test Connection fails then. When test works, enabling the camera just sits there forever saying "Activating" with the spinner over the thumbnail. Tried with admin account and an Operator account. Tried ONVIF and PSIA, both hang a while then say The operation failed.
Push from camera to NFS
Configured both ends OK, Test button on camera Storage NAS tab says success. Trying to Format HDD gets to 31%, hangs a while, then says "Completed" briefly but remains "Uninitialized" with 0.00GB Free. Suggestions online about size of volume (2TB here), but can't do anything about that, and can't set a quota on the NFS share. On Disk Station, datadirs0-9 have been created, with empty files primed in the first one at least.
Push from camera to SMB/CIFS
Set quota of 200 GB on Disk Station account, which is correctly shown as HDD Capacity on camera. Format HDD gets to 46% then hangs forever - seen comments about it taking potentially hours to complete so left overnight but still no response. On Disk Station, datadirs0-2 had been created within the first 3 seconds.
Thanks in advance.
