Note: You can create a simple Samba network drive on your Windows PC by right-clicking a folder, selecting
Sharing and Security..., and selecting Share this folder. Enter a Share name you would like to use for the
folder, then click the Permissions button and check the box for Full Control / Allow for the Everyone group.
For your camera's Recording settings, use Anonymous for the Samba Auth, your computer's IP address for the
Server, and the Share name you chose for the Shared Folder. Click on the Test button to test your settings.

to the contents of this folder.
This will let you set which video profile you wish to use to record video. Please note that if the bitrate(bps) of
the video profile is higher than your Samba network drive's throughput, the recording's framerate(FPS) may

to stop recording, or you can have the camera delete old recordings to free space for new recordings to be
saved.

resolution only.
