Notes:
| • | If the target shared folder specified as the storage location for recorded video is deleted, the surveillance camera is automatically disabled. |
| • | Do not directly edit recorded video data in the shared storage folder. If a file is directly edited, the surveillance camera software may no longer operate properly. |
| • | Do not duplicate or back up the shared storage folder with the built-in utilities in Settings. A separate backup license must be purchased to back up this data to another TeraStation. |
| • | The client tools can only be used with the LAN connected to the selected LAN port. |
| • | Surveillance cameras cannot be used if failover is configured. Also, failover cannot be used if surveillance camera functionality is enabled. They're just not compatible. |
Users with Two or More Network Cameras
In the default settings, only one network camera can be used. To use two or more network cameras, additional licenses (sold separately) must be purchased and registered.
