Hi, I found out the camera i bought included a network video managment system or NVMS 7000. 
  
I am using a  LaView LV-CDP6014 ONVIF-S IP camera. 
  
I just want to test everything out before i move it over a different machine. 
  
I got the software to recognize my camera. I can access the cameras configuration menu from the NVMS or through the web control panel. 
  
I installed the "storage server" and it recognized the sata drive i connected. Im only testing things out, so I used a spare 160GB drive. 
  
 
  
The problem that has been giving me a headache was how do I get the camera to recognize the hdd? 
  
This is from the cameras managment screen 
  
 
  
It says to enter the nfs parameters 
  
 
  
So i did try these things 
  
1.) Made the hdd as a shared folder. Put the //..... path in the nfs parameter screen and didnt recognize anything 
2.) made the drive as a network drive, but that didnt work 
  
I am not asking for a complete guide, just some notes and what I need to put or change.  
  
Thank you very much for your support.
