Q: it is possible in the Linux CLI to define the NAS access including IP
address, folder path, and password in one command?

Sometbhning like the following?

sudo mount -t cifs //NAS_IP_ADDRESS/SHARE_NAME /local/mount/point -o
username=USERNAME,password=PASSWORD

A: If you need Xeoma to perform the mounting of a drive (or a set of drives), you can indicate the necessary commands in Main menu -> Install -> Autostart settings.

Q: We have cameras that we haven’t been able to connect to Xeoma Cloud, and we’re having trouble getting them working properly.

A: Methods for Connecting Cameras to Xeoma Cloud

Option 1: Direct Connection (if the camera has a static IP address)
Connect to Xeoma Cloud: Launch Xeoma on a device and use the connection details you received to connect directly to your Cloud account.
Find the Camera: In the “+” menu, select the search by IP/Password option and enter your camera’s static IP address and p/w.

Option 2: If Your Camera Does Not Have a Public IP
Xeoma Cloud supports multiple alternative connection methods:

FTP Upload: Many cameras can upload footage directly to Xeoma Cloud using FTP. In Xeoma, add a new chain via the “+” menu, delete the “Universal camera” module, and insert an “FTP Receiver” module. Configure FTP settings based on details sent to your email by Xeoma when subscribing.

VPN or dynDNS: You can use VPN or dynamic DNS services to make your camera accessible from outside your local network.

HTTP Upload: If you have a computer or micro-PC near the camera, set up Xeoma to stream video via HTTP Upload to your Xeoma Cloud server.

Manual Connection: Alternatively, you can manually add a camera’s stream URL via the “+” menu if the camera is viewable in a browser or supports standard RTSP/HTTP protocols.
