Nope WD uses Red for everything other than blue which says it is ok.Īnyways the backup process will take a week to compare and backup changes to 12TB of data split into two My Cloud 8TB drives Media and Photography.

Blinking LED for no ethernet connection and really slow blinking LED for 100Mbit connection. Luckily I still have my two My Personal My Clouds that I had to dig through my storage boxes to set up and after booting up with RED LEDs (grrrrr WD way of telling me that I’m using 95% storage) and not that it is dead in the waters seriously WD you should change this and leave the LEDs alone and only have RED LEDs if the device is never returning from a chkdsk or some other system error. I even thought that with the QNAP raid 6 double drive failure, that I will never need to backup again but I realize that I was wrong after spending all that money because if you ever drop your NAS you realize that all your data/memories are in that one single box. Yes it was after that I bought an EX2 thinking that “Yay Mirrored” before I realize that I should still backup.

My understanding is that with NVR turned off in the app (which should then turn it off on the camera) I shouldn't be able to access the camera, but I can.So it has been a year now since I migrated to QNAP to find that, yes it is a wonderful great boxy NAS but nevertheless it is still a single device that can fail in many murphyish ways despite that it is formatted as a raid 6 (meaning it will take two drive failures before you lose your date) and a 3 year over the counter exchange if the device ever goes dead (paid an extra $60 for that privilege) and not that my data is that important but I’ll still be crying if I lose any of it, I still need to back up all my data.įor those who are using an EX2 ultra, a reminder that you still have to back up even if you have mirror drives because it only takes one virus or someone that hack into your system to alter/delete your files and because it is mirrored, both copies will be altered or deleted. In QNAP Surveillance Station and in ONVIF Device Manager, the camera was still detected. Then I did the following - in the iOS YOOSEE app, I disabled the NVR connection. I can control the PTZ but not get a picture. If I follow the same steps as above, but not logged in to the ONVIF Device Manager application with the camera's credentials and I have the exact same experience. So I am connecting to the camera because I can control the lens position motor, but I can't get a picture/signal. If I go to "PTZ control" link I can move the camera with the onscreen controls but get an "The underlying connection was closed: the connection was closed unexpectedly" message.At the bottom of the screen it shows the URL "rtsp://192.168.1.100:554/onvif1 which (except for the username and password) is the same URL that works in VLC. If I try to go to "Live video" link I get a "NO SIGNAL" message.If I click on the camera in the device list, I can connect to the camera.I logged in with my camera's admin/****** credentials.I have downloaded and installed the ONVIF Device Manager from to try to do some more troubleshooting.
#Vlc streamer on qnap password
I tried again with the correct credentials and the stream opened, so the username and password are correct. VLC gave an error message that it couldn't connect. I wanted to confirm that the username assword credentials were correct so using VLC I opened the network stream without the username assword in the URL. I can connect to the camera and view the stream. I know the camera is working on my network because in VLC if I open a media stream with the RTSP address syntax you suggested above (i.e. Password: ******** Result: When I try to test this configuration I get the same error message "Failed to create the RTSP connection to the network camera." The same as in the screenshots from user "demos" above. Please check the RTSP port is correct and the RTSP streaming access name is 'live.sdp' on the network camera." RTSP Method Password: ******** Result: When I test I get an error "Failed to create the RTSP connection to the network camera. ONVIF MethodĬamera Model: ONVIF Cameras(Recording Only) I have tried to use both the ONVIF and the RTSP method.

I have tried to set this camera up in QNAP Surveillance Station version 5.1.5.4.0 (9).
