It took a while to get the sensitivities right but it is now generating very few false alerts even during rain/fog/hail (havent had snow yet!). Also I have motion detection, line detection, intrusion detection and tamper detection configured and all working properly. So it sounds like you may be having some other issue? (my firmware was 5.2.0 International). A few things I had to ensure was creating a separate quota limited (200 GB) user for the camera. It recorded the proper 30 seconds in NFS mode, pre and post. When I first got the NAS, I tried CIFS but I struggled to get the camera to write to the NAS even after trying all the suggested workarounds, so then used NFS which worked well. I have the same camera, a DS-2CD2032-I (AliExpress sourced), connected to a QNAP TS-231+ NAS. Is there anything web based that I can use instead? Is there any technical documentation/reverse engineering on the format the camera writes to the storage in? Are there any open source tools for dealing with these files? I've given the Format Converter v4.0.1 from a try, and it seems to simply take the pre-allocated file on the NAS and dump all the events in it to one file - which is fine, but it's still Windows-based.

At the moment, I have to rely on being on a Windows machine and login to the camera to go to the Playback interface to browse events and export video, and I'd really like this to not be the case (what do I do when the camera fails?). Secondly, does anybody know of a way to browse the network storage and extract videos? Ideally I am after something web based that I can run on the NAS (running Ubuntu), & can break down the pre-allocated files into individual events. Is this a storage limitation, a camera bug, or something else entirely? Is there any functional difference as far as the camera is concerned with using Samba/CIFS vs NFS? I have noticed that even though it is configured to save 30 seconds of video prior to the event, it's really more like 5-10. I set up a Raspberry Pi with a USB flash drive attached, shared via NFS, and a machine with a properly partitioned HD running Samba as a more permanent solution. However, I have finally got around to configuring it to save video instead. I've got a nice little DS-2CD2032-I that seems to be doing a pretty good job - while the motion detection is quite poor, the line crossing detection does the job for me, and I have it configured to email me pics when the line is crossed.
