Does FreeNAS support IP cameras?
In this blog post, we will discuss whether FreeNAS supports IP cameras. We will also provide a brief overview of what FreeNAS is and how it can be used to store and serve digital media.
FreeNAS is a free and open source network-attached storage (NAS) operating system based on FreeBSD. It supports file sharing over SMB, NFS, AFP, and iSCSI. FreeNAS also supports software RAID (0, 1, 5, 6, 10), disk encryption, and virtualization.
IP cameras are digital cameras that use Internet Protocol (IP) for communication. They can be used for surveillance purposes and can be connected to a network for remote viewing.
FreeNAS does not have built-in support for IP cameras. However, there are third-party plugins that allow you to add IP camera support to FreeNAS. These plugins typically use the Motion software to detect motion and capture images from the IP camera.
