#Qnap surveillance station manual how to

As I mentioned, the basic question of how to change the default recording directory has been answered (it's how I found the QNAP forums). The other 25% of the time, I would get the login prompt, be able to log in, but would soon after get an error message stating that the service was suspended and to contact an administrator. Instead, after changing the path to the recording directory, I would restart samba and reinitialize surveillance station, and 75% I would be presented with a blue screen, but no login prompt.

Anyway, any help at all would be greatly appreciated. I do see a 'record_nvr' folder in the 'Recordings' share, but I'm not sure what that means. I get the blue background screen, no login prompt, and I have no idea if the service is running in my specified folder or not. I turn the surveillance station off, then back on again, just to see if it really does work and isn't just duct-taped. I checked the share named 'Google', and it now contains the folder 'record_nvr' along with subfolders, which I were all generated automatically by the surveillance station app. I can operate everything as normally as I could using the default record-to directory. I click the 'Monitor' button at the top of the screen. I can log into Surveillance Station, and then see the default interface screen that lists cameras attached to the WiFi network to the right, and options to the left. stored in an item that has been stolen and I cannot get to? What I did: Used to login to my QNAPĬode: Select all /etc/init.d/smb.sh restart What is the result? I access Surveillance Station via the web browser GUI for the QNAP.

Why? Because I will be using surveillance for security/insurance purposes and what is the point of having a video of someone stealing something. What I want to have happen: The recordings from Surveillance Station to save into my Google share folder.

No less than two terminals using the NAS to retrieve files and (here's the kicker) Google Drive as a cloud backup.

Linear Disk Volume EXT 4 (JBOD default setup - temporary until I get the drives I want for RAID 5).
