OpenMediaVault and Amcrest Camera

[jwadsley]

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.

 

[wodman]

When you edit the share it's added to the "extra options". Also, (If I remember right) may have to reboot omv (?).

 

[jwadsley]

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....

 

[wodman]

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?

 

[jwadsley]

That's the issue, is that I don't think the camera logs in in any way...

Only have Amcrest cameras...

 

[wodman]

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

 

[jwadsley]

That is set.

I assume the client box is set for the camera IP? does it matter the port on the camera?

 

[jwadsley]

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

 

[wodman]

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.

 

[wodman]

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

Looks like thas working

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?

 

[wodman]

Try setting up a group then add the share to it and member and check all the ACL's.
