There is a feature inside MOBOTIX MOVE Camera to record internally using microSD card or store the recording footage to the Network Share Folder (NAS) via SMBv2 protocol.
THIS TUTORIAL WILL NOT WORK WITH MOBOTIX MOVE VMSD1A-20-VA, VT1A-2-IR, VT1A-5-IR, VT1A-203-IR, VT1A-503-IR
But please take note, to record internally using microSD or store into the Network Share Folder (NAS) the only possibility to search the recording is just via the Camera. And to do the playback only possible to use 3rd Party Software like VLC Player. There is no media player inside the camera that are possible to do the playback of the recording. Need to download the files.
The file formats that is available for internal or store into the Network Share Folder are *.AVI or *.mp4.
Follow below step to record into the Network Share Folder.
- Open your NAS / Windows Share folder (make sure you create the folder and already have a permission to write/read)
note : i’m using QNAP NAS as the network share folder

To make sure that your share folder is already accessible from the network, open your Windows Explorer and in the address bar put your NAS ip address (at this case my NAS IP Address \192.168.1.7). I will open my “testing” folder and after inside the folder press right click and try to create a new folder. Also please try to delete that folder again to make sure possibility to write and delete.
