Getting the hang of it

I just noticed my Dahua supports both Samba and NFS
I had it configured to use NFS but it results in jerky videos and frames missing.
So I was thinking may be SMB will perform better but can't make it to work, any ideas how to set it up?
The parameters look self-explanatory but It does not work

Could it be a issue of SMB version? Try setting up a SMB server on linux (samba) or windows, there you have more options to start diagnosis.
 
It is possible that increased CPU load of sending video through NSF and SMB may cause frame loss.
 
It simply does not support samba/CIFS despite an smb option. This is not implemented at all and all it does is sending an ICMP echo request to your configured SMB server.
