This article demonstrates how to setup a Synology NAS to accept recordings from Wisenet Cameras.

Step By Step Guide:

Setting up a Synology NAS

To set up a Synology NAS:

1. On the Synology NAS, create a shared folder where you want the recordings to be saved.
   

   NOTE: It is important that the Enable Recycle Bin checkbox is NOT checked. 
   

2. Create a user account for the Wisenet camera to use.
   In this instance, the user name is Quota. 
   
   
   
3. Assign the user account Read/Write permission to the recording folder. 
   In this case, the folder is named NoQuota. 
   

   NOTE: Wisenet cameras support a maximum of 2TB for NAS storage. If your 
   storage is larger than 2TB, you must set a Quota for the user account. 

   
   
   
4. Check the Allow checkbox for SMB.
   
   

   NOTE: Wisenet 7 cameras support SMB V3. 
   Wisenet 5 cameras support SMB V1 only.

5. Enable SMB V1 on your Synology NAS. 
   

   NOTE: This step is not required if you are using Wisenet 7 cameras.
