Running the Quick Setup Wizards to Configure the NSS
When you log into the configuration interface for the first time, the Initial Setup wizard appears. The setup wizard steps you through the basic configuration to create a RAID, volume, share, user, to set the Home Directory location, set the time, and so on. You can access this wizard at any time from the Manager Menu of the configuration interface.
NOTE if you save any configuration settings before running the wizard, running the wizard will erase any saved data. For example, if you configure a RAID and then run the wizard, the RAID will be deleted.
These wizards are also available from the Manager Menu of the configuration interface. Select the wizard and then follow the onscreen instructions.
•IP Camera Options (Optional): You can run either the FTP or CIFS wizards to set up the NSS to store videos from IP surveillance cameras. The type of wizard you choose depends on the way the camera transfers the video clips. Before you run the wizard make sure that you create a RAID array, a volume, and add any users that you want to grant access to the surveillance videos. After running the wizard, map a network drive to the share on the PC running the camera utility and configure the camera utility to save the video to the mapped network drive.
NOTE You only need to run the wizard once. You must configure each camera to output the video to the configured share
-FTP: Run this wizard if the cameras are set up to transfer motion- triggered clips through FTP. The wizard creates a single user and FTP share for the cameras. The videos are then saved within the FTP share which contains a subfolder dedicated to each camera. After you run the wizard, you must configure each camera to output the video to the configured NSS share. Use the information summarized on the last page of the wizard to set up the cameras through their configuration interface.
-CIFS: Run this wizard if the cameras have a Windows utility program that lets you save the streaming video to a local drive (or in this case, the NSS) and then view the video from its saved location. The wizard creates a single user and share for all cameras that are configured to
