Trying to setup the Amcrest Camera to send motion detection video / clips to a NAS on OMV.

I've got the OMV setup with NFS active, and the share setup I think is correct, I just called in SSD. Tthe only issues is that I have no way to know if its connecting to the NAS, and no files are appearing.

I don't know how to setup NFS on OMV for no login write access. I read online somewhere that in the path in Amcrest GUI I needed /external/share but not sure if this is helping or hurting

Anyone able to lend a hand with this?

Path= /export/ whatever your share is...

Changed to /export/ and get the confirmation of NFS succeeded but still no video is shown when I go into the drive via windows...unless NFS and SMB on windows are not the same? Would think they should still show up though?

Try adding the "NTLM Auth=Yes" to xtra options box (services-smb/cif-edit ).

I'm not familiar with Amcrest but I'd test using continuous instead of motion until it's figured out.

Also, If it isn't already add the NFS share to smb/cif share so is viewable from windows.

Is that NTLM in the OMV config?

I think I've added it to SMB/CIF already since I can see it within windows, just nothing is coming over....
 
"NTLM Auth=Yes" is in the SMB/CIFS share down on the bottom when you edit share.
 
When you edit the share it's added to the "extra options". Also, (If I remember right) may have to reboot omv (?).
 
That is now set, but still not seeing anything on the SMB windows side. I assume it would be sending out folders of times / dates....

Have you checked "shared folders-privileges and ACLl" for read write access?

Any other cam's avail that do NFS to see if they can access that share?
 
Something you might try:
Under the OMV NFS share -
Client- 192.168.0.54/24 (change ip to what yours is but do use the /24)
xtra options-subtree_check,insecure
 
I think it might be a permissions thing. When I go to SMB to the share in windows I have to login, but I know the camera doesn't have the ability to login, so not sure how to setup anonymous file drops to the share
 
Any info in omv system logs?

Could try check marking all accounts under omv shared folders -ACL- user accounts for that share then work backwards (if it matters to you) once working.
 
FYI-If you can login to omv as root using putty or other ssh client then type "showmount -e localhost " it will show list of file systems that are being exported

How did you get that setup? Through permissions / ACL?

Did it awhile back and trying to remember. ...

Q: Can you using a windows computer networking see the nfs share and open it/write to it?

Also, is this nfs share (SSD) only being used for nfs?
 
Try setting up a group then add the share to it and member and check all the ACL's.
