The web interface
Ignore: Turn on to ignore network storage.
Add network storage: Click to add a network share where you can save recordings.
• Address: Enter the IP address or host name of the host server, typically a NAS (network-attached storage). We
recommend you to configure the host to use a fixed IP address (not DHCP since a dynamic IP address can change) or
that you use DNS. Windows SMB/CIFS names are not supported.
• Network share: Enter the name of the shared location on the host server. Several Axis devices can use the same
network share since each device gets its own folder.
• User: If the server requires a login, enter the username. To log in to a specific domain server, type
DOMAIN\username.
• Password: If the server requires a login, enter the password.
• SMB version: Select the SMB storage protocol version to connect to the NAS. If you select Auto, the device tries
to negotiate one of the secure versions SMB: 3.02, 3.0, or 2.1. Select 1.0 or 2.0 to connect to older NAS that don't
support higher versions. You can read more about SMB support in Axis devices here.
• Add share even if connection test fails: Select to add the network share even if an error is discovered during the
connection test. The error can be, for example, that you didn't enter a password even though the server requires one.
Remove network storage: Click to unmount, unbind, and remove the connection to the network share. This removes all settings
for the network share.
Unbind: Click to unbind and disconnect the network share.
Bind: Click to bind and connect the network share.
Unmount: Click to unmount the network share.
Mount: Click to mount the network share.
Write protect: Turn on to stop writing to the network share and protect recordings from being removed. You can't format a
write-protected network share.
Retention time: Select how long to keep recordings, to limit the amount of old recordings, or to comply with regulations regarding
data storage. If the network storage becomes full, old recordings are removed before the selected time period passes.
Tools
• Test connection: Test the connection to the network share.
• Format: Format the network share, for example, when you need to quickly erase all data. CIFS is the available
file system option.
Use tool: Click to activate the selected tool.
