ReadyNAS not allowing IP Camera to record too
I have a ReadyNAS 104 system and a Edimax 720P IP Camera (model IC-9110W) that connects to my old NAS Box (D-Link) which connects via IP then to a specific folder. So for example it goes to 192.1...

Are you using anonymous access in the camera NAS storage settings?
If so, then I suggest changing that over to use NAS local account credentials. You might want to set up an "Edimax" user on the NAS for this.
Also, is "IPCamera" a share on the NAS?

Hi Stephen,
The IP Camera has been setup with its own login to the NAS for login so it is using User Credentials to login to the NAS no anonymous login.
There is a Share on the ReadyNAS for this very purpose and when testing the connection settings in the IP Cam it connects and stays connected however using Manual Snapshot (Picture) or Manual Record it says successfull for Pic but nothing shows on NAS and when Manual Record is pressed it counts down then shows Started however 1 second later it stops recording.
I am looking at moving to UniFi Cameras however the limited to virtually outdated support for cameras on ReadyNAS on the Survallance Application is just rubbish however I still am wanting to be able to record to the NAS Box Live not just as a backup source however this has made it extremely difficult and very annoying.

Perhaps a long shot, but is disk spindown enabled on the NAS?
