The videos are then saved within the FTP share which contains a subfolder for each camera. - CIFS: Run this wizard if the cameras have a Windows utility program that lets you save the streaming video to a local drive (or in this case, the NSS) and then view the video from its saved location. The wizard creates a single user and share for all cameras that are configured to stream video to the Windows camera utility program. After you run the wizard, you must map the network drive from the PC that runs the Windows utility program to the CIFS share and then set up the utility to save the mapped network drive. Step 4 - Save the Current Configuration You can save a copy of the NSS configuration that can be used should you need to restore the settings at a later time. When you save the configuration file, it saves a date-stamped version of the current configuration settings to the specified volume on the NSS.

IP Camera Options
:
The following wizards let you set up the NSS to store
videos from IP surveillance cameras. The type of wizard you should choose
depends on the way the camera transfers the video clips. Note that you only
need to run the wizard once and then you must configure each the camera
to output the video to the configured share.
-
FTP
:
Run this wizard if the cameras are set up to transfer motion-
triggered clips via FTP. Running the wizard creates a single user and FTP
share for the cameras. The videos are then saved within the FTP share
which contains a subfolder for each camera.
-
CIFS
:
Run this wizard if the cameras have a Windows utility program that
lets you save the streaming video to a local drive (or in this case, the
NSS) and then view the video from its saved location. The wizard
creates a single user and share for all cameras that are configured to
stream video to the Windows camera utility program. After you run the
wizard, you must map the network drive from the PC that runs the
Windows utility program to the CIFS share and then set up the utility to
save the mapped network drive.
Step 4 — Save the Current Configuration
You can save a copy of the NSS configuration that can be used should you need to
restore the settings at a later time. When you save the configuration file, it saves a
date-stamped version of the current configuration settings to the specified volume
on the NSS. You can choose to save the current configuration settings to a
specified volume on the NSS or you can save the file to a USB flash device
inserted into the
AUX-1
port.
To save the current configuration:

If you are saving the configuration file to a USB flash device, insert a USB flash
device into the
AUX-1
