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.

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
