Anyone use a Hikvision IP camera with a Drobo or a NAS? I purchased the camera a couple years ago and never really set it up to record, just for viewing. I've always had it setup to where I could record or take pictures manually but it could never record off motion automatically. First problem when I got it was it was a chinese version so Hikvision would never offer any type of support. I flashed it with an English firmware and have used it like that ever since. I just now flashed it with 5.2 and the got closer to being able to configure it to work with my DROBO.
I get the "uninitialized" status after formatting. I created a new share and added time machine support so I can limit the size to 50GB as I was reading online about the camera not recording to a drive/share if it's too large. I still get the "uninitialized" status even with the time machine share to limit the size. It formats the share correctly as it creates all the files and folders. Maybe someone else has had some better luck? I want to be able to get the camera to record on motion. I also would like to buy more cameras soon and get them all to work and record to my Drobo if that's possible.
Camera model: DS-2CD3132D-I
