Can you send your Synology NAS settings please.

In the meantime I have created a share called Milesight on the root folder of my NAS. With your settings this give a structure of volume1/Milesight/'Date'. I don't like this solution because it means a separate mapped drive on my PC. If I were to purchase any more Milesight cameras each one...

I can confirm my FTP settings are OK. I have created a folder called David on my PC and created a sub folder called Milesight. This actually works on a PC but who wants to leave their PC running 24/7 to store camera video. I want to store my video on my Synology NAS as I used to with your...

I don't have Teamviewer. What do Milesight want to connect to. Camera? NAS? PC?. Exactly what do Milesight want to check? Do Milesight have a Synology NAS to test? I don't believe the Synology will work with Milesight's settings. On a Synology NAS you can't share a sub folder of a share and...

On my Synology NAS I have volume1/David, volume1/John, and volume1/Margaret shared. Note that 'Milesight' is below folder 'David' When I fill in the form with with 'Parent Directory' set to 'Customize' the inserting 'Milesight' as instructed save and press the test button I get 'Failed'...

Unfortunately this does not work. I have several shares so 'David' must be in the settings somewhere. Putting it in server address results in 'Invalid server address' Putting it before 'Milesight' in this form 'David/Milesight results in 'Invalid character /'. It appears that 'Multilevel Folder...

I have FTP Storage settings Storage Path: "Customise" and Multilevel Folder Name: "David/Milesight" Prior to the latest firmware Motion Alarms went into folder "David/Milesight/Date" Date being "YYYY-MM-DD" when the alarm was raised. With the new firmware they all get lumped into...

When I tried to setup email the operation failed because my email password contained some of the above invalid characters. I am now left with the choice of 1) Changing my email password and all the hassle that will cause bringing everything into line. 2) Creating a new email address just for...

As it started to get dark I checked the Milesight camera against the Hikvision. The Milesight was considerable darker and the IR came on much earlier. A little later I checked again and the Hikvision picture was still bright without IR. The Milesight was darker with IR on. I turned IR off and...

Hi Logged in this morning and the picture is very good again? Seems to be night time giving me problems. I already have latest SW installed and will try again tonight as Mal suggests. If it is no better I will try a factory reset.

Hi Just got the mini ptz 5mp running. Image is very good during the day but at night it is terrible. Tried all sorts of settings. Uploaded a snapshot from the bullet and my Hikvision taken at the same time. Any ideas?

I would try a different network cable also.

Hi I have just purchased and booted this camera. Software version 41.7.45.60-r9 is installed. This does not match anything in the resources section or on the Milesight firmware download area. Does anyone know if I have the latest software? Dave

I saw what I thought was an ordinary screwdriver when the camera first arrived and thought no more about it. Thanks for setting me straight. Dave

Hi What tool do I need to remove the cover that gains access to the sd card. I have looked everware but can't find any info. Thanks Dave
