SOLVED - Can Axis IP cameras record directly to a local NAS?

[photys 0]

Recording locally with no NVR?

 

It this viable?

 

Outline:

Four different locations.

2 Axis 207 cams per location.

1 QOS router per location.

1 NAS (network attached storage) per location.

 

I want to record locally to an NAS or similar.

Draw recorded images from the NAS over the internet.

 

Looking at the Axis GUI, I see the following in Event settngs:

"triggered by" - "motion detection" - "when triggered" - "Upload images/video".

Which in theory could save to the NAS.

But would the client softwear know where to find the NAS

 

 

If its viable,

What softwear do you recommend.

What NAS do you recommend.

 

Thanks for your time,

photys.

I think in that case it is just FTP. you have to have FTP server running to accept connections from the cameras.

Thank you both for the replies.

 

I have seen some basic brandnamed NAS with built in FTP server.

I may pick one up and give it a try.
