Sup3rmateSetting Up SMB
SMB is a shared network folder. It’s very handy for recording and watching your recordings on any shared device. It’s also helpful if you have a main device you set up, then backup to restore your other devices. The backup file can be saved in your SMB folder and accessed by other devices on the network.
On your Windows PC, select the folder you want to share (you may want to make a specific folder first).
Right click on it, select Give access to → Specific people, choose Everyone, click Add, change permission type to Read/Write, and press Share.
Go to Windows Settings → Network & Internet → Status → Change Connection Properties and set Network Profile to Private (if not already).
Go to Windows Settings → Network & Internet → Status → Sharing options → All Networks and turn off password protected sharing.
Open File Explorer and type \localhost in the address bar. Your shared folder should show there.
Open cmd and use ipconfig to find your PC's IP address on the network (for example: 192.168.0.16).
In the app, set up LAN/SMB:
Enter the IP address in Server address. No other field is needed.
You should now be able to select a network folder.
Tip
SMB is useful for sharing backups and recordings between devices on the same network.
