I reconnected my DCS-5230L. I can see that it has a Folder Storage option button. Clicking on it allows me to choose the folder. I can see my NAS in this window, so i would think that I can record directly onto the NAS.

On the set-up screen, I also see two options: a direct reccord to an SD card, and a record to a SAMBA server.

You can follow the instruction here.

Please note, only firmware v1.02 listed here can support NAS. The website here failed to inform that v1.03 does not support NAS record. http://www.dlink.com.sg/support/support_detail.asp?idProduct=503

However, it seems that there is some bugs in v1.02. I bought 2 units of DCS-5230L and have successfully configured my NAS recording with DNS-320. However, the cameras would hung after few days, and no more recording on the NAS.

*sigh*

What else can I do?
