how can i achieve this?

Post by Rource »

Hey all,

i tried already reddit and search function and google but i simply cant make it work.

I have an old wdmycloudex2 2TB nas in my local network and i simply want to store every recorded stuff onto it and not onto my intel nuc where zoneminder is running via proxmox. how can i achieve this? i put already my ftp details (user,pw, ip) under the "upload" section in the options. is this right? do i need any rule too? but i cant choose it under my monitor. and when i try to add my nas via the "storage" section i can input my ip but it doesnt ask for user and pw, so thats only a local option i think?

I think the simple way is to mount the NAS and then add it as a storage location. Provided the NAS and network are fast enough it should work without a problem.
Due to experience I have had with a bad disk, leave the default storage configured and pointed to somewhere local so if the NAS has a problem ZM will have a fallback location to write.
