Mobotix M12 doesn't record on Allnet NAS

Hello CMC,

Thank you for using our cameras for such a long time!
The MOBOTIX M12 was launched back in 2006, and its last firmware update was released in 2019.

If you’re experiencing issues with NAS recording, please first verify whether your NAS has recently updated and disabled support for SMB Version 1.0, which is the only SMB version supported by the M12.

In isolated environments without internet or external access, enabling SMB v1.0 may still be acceptable in rare cases. However, if your NAS no longer supports SMB v1.0 and cannot be configured to do so, we recommend considering the use of the NFS protocol as an alternative.

Recommended Setup:

  • Camera → NAS: Use NFS for recording.
  • MxMC on PC → NAS: Use SMB (latest version) for playback.

To make this work, ensure that your NAS share is configured to support both SMB and NFS protocols in parallel.
