I have tried over and again on two different Cameras and they both act the same..
What I am attempting to achieve is for my Camera to record directly to a NAS ( Buffalo Linkstation 210 ) as I dont want to run a dvr or the IVMS software suite on my PC 7/24
I setup my NAS as SMB but it is open to even anonymous W/R access
I configure the Camera's Storage management NET HDD with my login parameters and test successfully.
I then Format the HDD using the Camera's HDD Management tab.
it seems to succeed and for awhile it is online and in NORMAL state
if I log out and back in again it seems to change back to Uninitialized.
I have a youtube video if you would like to see... It shows the NAS on the left and the cameras webpage on the right
NAS Status wont stay Initialized Video Link
Any help would be appreciated
