ReadyNAS Surveillance on ReadyNAS 104
Im using a ReadyNAS 104 and want to use it to record the streams of our surveillance cameras. Unfortunately the ReadyNAS Surveillance App does not support more than one camera and recording on motion...
A little bit off topic, but I finally got the camera to record directly onto a ReadyNAS share. All I had to do was setting a quota for said share and eventually the formatting process worked. What the camera calls formatting is actually creating some binary index files and a bunch of zero byte hivXXXXX.mp4 files which get then slowly filled with the video data.
Hi TWfromSWD,
You can have at least 8 working and recording cameras in your system. Here are the product numbers RNNVR01L-10000S, RNNVR02L-10000S, RNNVR04L-10000S you can look at in adding more than more cameras in your system. Check this page for more information.
Hope this helps!

Thanks for the fast reply. But the recordin when motion is detected is equally important for me. Is this also somehow possible with a ReadyNAS 104?
Hi TWfromSWD,
Sorry I missed to answer your question. The said functionality that you asked for is not supported by the 100 series or home ReadyNAS models. Take a look at ReadyNAS Surveillance datasheet for more information.
Hope this answers your question.
Kind regards,

NETGEAR Community TeamI think the camera itself can be set for motion detection. So the Nas just records what the camera sends.
Hi Alivelam,
Yes, if the camera supports it. But if he wants to record it while there is motion detected, it wouldn't work on his current system.
Kind regards,

NETGEAR Community TeamYes, the camera would support it. The camera would even support to write a video directly onto a cifs or nfs share when motion is detected but unfortunately I wasn't able to convince the camera to write on a ReadyNAS Network share. It says that that the connection test was successful but is unable to write data on the share. So I wanted to try a NAS side recording on motion detection.
My camera is the Abus TVIP61560 which seems to be compatible to some Hikvision camera. I was able to connect and to record a stream. And event to change camera settings via ReadyNAS Surveillance.
Hikvison IP cameras are not able to write to NAS share also. Connection is OK but some "format" process of folder is failed. Firmware of camera expect constant size of share. HDD or flash connected to NAS USB are OK for cameras motion recording.
Try to setup OS6x86 to your ReadyNAS 104 via virtualbox and install ReadyNAS Surveillance for x86 system. It has 30 days trial period for user. You can try your Abus TVIP61560. My rn312 is OK with motion recording. rn312 do not need virtualbox
I am not sure this is perfect idea but owner of ReadyNAS 104 can try OS6x86 VirtualBox for motion detection recording.

Except for this some IP cameras (Hikvision, for example) are able to record motion detection self via NFS, CIFS, FTP protocol to NAS. NVR is
not required in this case.I am not sure this is perfect idea but owner of ReadyNAS 104 can try OS6x86 VirtualBox for motion detection recording.
