How Do I Record From Ip Camera To Nas?
- #one
Hi guys,
I have the intention of using this hardware:
Atom C2750 with 16GB Ram in 1U chassis with 4x3.5 Bays hotswap and 2x2.5 Bays within (kicking drives)
as DVR for my IP cameras. Information technology will be serving the sole role as FTP server to which 4 IP Cameras will tape constantly.(around 20Mb/s)
I was wondering if everyone else is using FreeNAS as defended DVR for IP cameras and/or could share pros and cons if this is a good thought or not?
P.S. The alternative will require getting a RAID card (I don't have) and Windows 2008 R2(I already have) prepare equally FTP server.

FreeNAS Generalissimo

I similar this idea, and thought of doing this myself. Please let me know how it works out.

I volition. In a mean fourth dimension I would to hear what others recall almost it, even if it'due south just communication on should I use raidz vs raid10 (in this particular case).I am not sure if I need the IOPS that raid10 volition provide, instance the streams are slow v Mb/s each photographic camera, I hope I tin calibration it to viii cameras , so 40-50 Mbit combined.

Cheers for the input.
You are setup is interesting and little bit complicated, my IP cameras tin can send notifications with screenshot direct to email. Tape on motion I gave up a year ago, and 1080p is a must in my case.
I agree with y'all that defended hardware is amend. But as far equally why not become a Amcrest DVR and be washed with information technology , the answer would exist the same if the questions was: Why build a FreeNAS if y'all can become a 4bay Synology or Qnap NAS already build. I retrieve y'all know what I mean :)

I'm using a Rosewill RSV-L4412 Hot swap instance with 12 - 8TB drives on a FreeNAS eleven with twoscore HikVision IP Cameras recording in 1080p. What I did is created a dataStore then 40 dataset folders. And then logged into the each Hikvision camera and set up up storage to write to a NAS. Works perfect. Each camera writes to its own folder. I did a lot of work setting this up. Also running two - ten gig fiber upwards-links load counterbalanced.

That's interesting. How your 12 drives are set in the pool ?(vdevs,raidz, raidz2)
I am bold these 40 cameras are recording all the time and bold they apply FTP protocol also , right ?

Yep RAIDZ2. Running the LSI 9211-8i cards (2). I read some try to convert older RAID cards. Simply why fight it you can buy the LSI 9211-8i menu for 80.00 new?
The cameras get a ton of traffic majority of the day not so much at night. No FTP.
Notation: These cameras accept NO Admission to the outside world.

12 drives in 1 vdev raidz2 ?
This suggests that they don't record all the fourth dimension. If "No FTP" then how the cameras accomplish the FreeNAS server to record on information technology?

Respectfully I disagree here. I don't think you lot should get as much RAM you lot can afford, I think you should go as much RAM as it needed (any that may be).

It's 2 RAIDZ2 combined equally ane. I had a total of 87 TB out of 96 TB.

I call back is SMB protocol what you mean, I forgot the new cams have that as an option too, mine has it too I merely don't use information technology.
Anyway if your cameras are not recording constantly (which I assume of traffic is heavier during twenty-four hours) then it is hard to tell how many cameras your NAS or any NAS tin handle.
For example your NAS tin can serve forty or 100 cameras if they tape only occasionally, it is hard to size organization that way. If they record all the time , you can multiply the bandwidth of each stream with the number of cameras yous have. Simple. And this is your best and worst case scenarios, because traffic is the same all the time.

Oh good that's better. Because 12 drives in one dev will exist too many. I run into from your screenshot that some cameras take 8% some 84%, because they record different base on the movement they got. You can definitely fit more cameras if continuous recording is not required.

When y'all look at you network traffic in FreeNAS GUI, what is its peak?
Final edited by a moderator:

You mention RAM, then I wonder how much RAM your organisation has and what CPU is running it?

I think is SMB protocol what you mean
No these cameras have the ability to tape to a NAS via NFS at present there is an option to record using SMB/CIFS I don't use that option. Please read up on Hikvision cameras. They are non cheap cameras.
