Hey guys,

Spent a good $2500 on my rig earlier this year (so it's probably only work about $500 now LOL) BUT I was hoping that I could dedicate one of my smaller (128gb) SSD's to be a NAS for my camera... I can't seem to work out how to do it, can anyone assist?

Thanks in advance!

If this is a Windows PC (and I'm guessing ...) then activate network sharing on the drive.
Create a Windows user that has r/w access to the drive.
If this is a Hikvision camera (and I'm guessing again) use the Storage menus in the web GUI to connect to the NetHDD with the PC IP address and the SMB/CIFS file sharing protocol, and the Windows userID/password that you created.
 
Your guesses were perfect Alastair! Thankyou very much, I'll give that a go tonight when I get home, and let you know how much of a god you are ;)
 
Haha you are indeed right - I actually ran into a stumbling block at creating a user - sadly this is Win 10 i'm on and it wont let me make a user without a new e-mail password.

I attempted to add the drive in the config and got a parameter error regardless of what other settings I put.

I'd be happy with recording locally on the camera (MicroSD) but I can't seem to get that working either!
 
For the connection type, use SMB/CIFS, and have a valid Windows user/password set up.
For your file path, use /Camera SSD
And if that does not work - you may need to change the share to remove the space in the name.
 
Finally got around to giving it another good shot and got to this error now -

Mounting to NAS Server failed. No Permissions

Guess it's shared as both so yes, it is... except i've not put the / around the right way \\ ;)

Even having fixed that to now be \Camera as it's path - Same error, No Permissions.

No, you did have it the correct way, should be /Camera
Your configuration should work.
I'm wondering if there is a problem with the Windows user password - too long, or characters not allowed.
Perhaps change the password to something simple and re-try.

I tried "footage" and that failed XD still with the same error

Scratch that - I found a different spot of permissions, dunno where this one was hiding, and it was only set for READ... now testing succeeded... now to see if it records
 
Cool. For one camera not bad. Basically just like having a 128GB SD card in it.

But just out of curiosity, $2,500 on a computer? What for?
 
A gamer David... excessive is our "normal" ;)

However this doesn't seem to be recording sadly... no clue what's going on
