tutech 0 Posted June 21, 2012 I've got a FreeNAS box setup with 6TB of storage in a ZFS RAID5 configuration that I'd like to use as IP camera storage. What outdoor day/night cameras would be able to make use of that? I am only assuming that the only way to do that is to use iSCSI, which FreeNAS supports. However my limited amount of research may have left me incorrectly thinking that iSCSI is the only protocol I should be looking for support for. FreeNAS also supports SMB/CIFS, FTP, NFS, SSH, rsync, AFP and uPnP. I can easily VLAN the cameras and the NAS to separate the traffic from the rest of my LAN, and I plan to. Any suggestions on what protocols I should be looking for support for in an IP cam? I'm hoping for either D1 or 720p resolution. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

videoVIP 0 Posted June 22, 2012 I know some of my Axis cams will record to NAS directly. Interested in knowing which models you have. I have some 213's and would be thrilled to get them to record directly to a NAS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

empiresecuritycamera 0 Posted June 24, 2012 What about Dahua PSS software? Works on Windows, MAC and certain Linux distros. http://www.dahuasecurity.com/English/supporttool.aspx?type=3002 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mobbarley 0 Posted June 25, 2012 Anything Axis that supports firmware vs 5.40 or better can record directly via SMB. Axis Camera Companion is also a free VMS to play it back for up to 16 cameras. Most Vivoteks can also record via SMB, no idea about their VMS software though. Im sure most current model IP cams can do this. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
