Edit Video Backups

Backing up video footage to a Network Attached Storage (NAS) ensures that your recordings are securely stored and easily accessible. By configuring video backup settings, you can manage how video data is preserved or retained based on your storage capacity and security needs.

• Enable Backup: Enable or disable video backup to NAS.

• Retention Days: Footage older than the specified number of days will be deleted, or earlier if storage becomes full.

• SMB Folder Path: Enter the SMB path on the NAS in the format: server-name/shared-folder or IP-address/shared-folder

• User Name / Password: Credentials used to access the SMB shared folder.

Note

• If video backup is disabled, existing footage on the NAS is not deleted automatically. you must remove it manually from the NAS.

• If the SMB folder path is changed, footage in the old path is not deleted or copied to the new location automatically.

• Each camera supports video backup to either NAS or NVS, not both. If both are configured, the later setup will fail. Disable one before enabling the other.
