    Having trouble getting FTP to work on Hikvision

    I have all the permissions allowed for this user account and confirmed that even my reolink cameras could upload (those 3 PTZ text files). Their support is useless and tells me a contradicting statement that FTP and SMB/CIFS is not supported on third party NAS devices, while showing me a guide...

    Having trouble getting FTP to work on Hikvision

    Anyone know of a third party NAS (like QNAP) that is able to be used as an FTP server for Hikvision? Their support is now indicating that they don't know what the hell they are talking about by saying that I need to use a third party FTP server running on windows - but not a third party NAS...

    Having trouble getting FTP to work on Hikvision

    At this point it looks like the only option is to get a Hikvision NVR, but I don't know if you can host an FTP server on them or not. I mainly need a storage solution for FTP LPR snapshots, but also want continuous recordings for backup since plate recognition is never perfect.

    Having trouble getting FTP to work on Hikvision

    I think I am going to swap out the the NAS first while I can still return it. I really want these cameras to work and its a shame that I can't get a name brand NAS to work right out of the box on two of the same cameras. Which models are proven to work for Hikvision?

    Having trouble getting FTP to work on Hikvision

    So I need to make a new folder and have it use that as the child directory? I did that and it says "the device breaks down, contact support for troubleshooting". I even tried the anonymous login and it hilariously tells me the password is wrong. UH HIKVISION, ANONYMOUS LOGIN MEANS NO PASSWORD...

    Having trouble getting FTP to work on Hikvision

    I have two iDS-2CD7A46G0/P-IZHSY LPR cameras from Hikvision that I need to have FTP setup on for license plate snapshots. I have an FTP server setup on the NAS (synology ds923) and was able to connect to it via a FTP client running on my phone. I was also able to have my shitty reolink...
