1. Device NAS / RTSP Introduction
1.1 Feature Overview
Eufy cameras support saving recordings to third-party NAS devices via the RTSP protocol. Configuration can be done in the camera settings under the "RTSP/NAS" menu. The NAS must run surveillance software that supports the RTSP protocol. This feature is provided by the push_stream module in the baize_eufy process.
Supported Features: Eufy cameras support saving recordings to third-party NAS devices via the RTSP protocol.
Compatible Brands: NAS devices that support the RTSP protocol. Brand compatibility must be verified independently.
Static IP：Please set up your Camera with static IP address in your router. Otherwise, the Camera's RTSP streaming address will be changed and video clips will not be stored to your NAS when the Camera's IP address is changed by the router.
1.2 Network Configuration Requirements
Ensure that both the NAS storage device and the camera are connected to the same Wi-Fi router.
1.3 Recording Storage Rules
Event Recording (triggered by Motion, Human, Vehicle, Pet, etc.): Streaming starts only when an event is triggered. The third-party NAS can pull the stream only when streaming is active. The VLC player can also pull the stream for playback only during this time.
Continuous Recording: Streams 24/7, and the third-party NAS can continuously pull the stream.
Recordings stored on the third-party NAS can only be played within the NAS application itself; they cannot be played in the Eufy app.
