In an IQeye camera, you can configure DTS (Direct To Storage) to write directly to a 'Network Share' on a MS Windows system.
It is a common misconception that giving permissions to ‘Everyone’ to a network share is sufficient for everyone to have access to that share.
On computers running Microsoft® Windows Server® 2008 R2, Windows® 7, Windows Server® 2008, Windows Vista®, Windows Server® 2003, and Windows XP operating systems, the Everyone group no longer includes anonymous users by default. This change reduces the number of network resources available by default to anonymous users and simplifies how network administrators can control access by anonymous users. (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc772211.aspx)
A camera trying to access the share with any set of credentials is considered anonymous user. Anonymous is not included in Everyone anymore.
So, per default the camera has no access. You can use gpedit.msc grant access to anonymous users, by including them in the Everyone group.
- Click Start, type gpedit.msc in the Start Search text box, and then press ENTER.
- In the Local Group Policy Editor console tree, open Computer Configuration, open Windows Settings, open Security Settings, open Local Policies, and then click Security Options.
- In the details pane, right-click Network access: Let Everyone permissions apply to anonymous users, and then click Properties.
- To allow permissions that are applied to the Everyone group to apply to anonymous users, click Enabled.
- or -
To prevent permissions that are applied to the Everyone group from applying to anonymous users, click Disabled. - Click OK.
However, it is safer to create a local user on the PC with the network share, and give that local user right for the shared folder.
Then on the camera, use the credentials (username/password) for that user so that the camera has access to the share.
IQinVision does not recommend changing the security settings on your MS Windows computer systems.
Changes in the security settings of your computer are at your own risk.
