Extending NVR retention using NAS

[choi0706]

Is this possible? I'm using a dahua box with a mix of 32 8mp and 4mp cameras. I'm using 8x12tb drives and would like to add a NAS to extend my storage retention.

There is an ftp tab where you can use an ftp server to save files. Its definitely possible

Old interface but same general idea.

so NAS WD red? or WD purple?

So it looks like a Synology unit works?

Several years ago I had my Synology connected to a couple of Hikvision bullet cameras and it worked fine. I am a happy Synology owner and will continue to use their products. They also have a surveillance app called Surveillance Station which you may find helpful.

I prefer WD Red's in the NAS and Purple's in NVR's / BI rigs.
