Motion on Pi, how to save images using smb

[davidronan2001]

Hi,

I`ve got an RPi 2 and i`m currently using motion for video detection. its working fine and videos and images are being save to the Pi directory (target_dir home/pi)

Is it possible to save the videos and images to a NAS on the same network as the Pi using either FTP or ideally SMB? If so how?!

Thanks in advance.

You mount the NAS and it appears as a local file system.

If your NAS can do NFS rather than Samba (or as well as Samba) you will find that faster, easier and more secure.

Linux mounting Samba shares is a mess.
