Best place to store security camera footage


Smackover

Recommended Posts

I have a Milestone VM running on Unraid that I want to store the footage from. I don't think I really need parity, so where's the best place to store it? I'm thinking since I have an SSD cache drive that I'd like to reduce my writes on it, so maybe one disk through unassigned drives? TIA for suggestions.

I will follow this.

Right now i’am using motioneye docker, with a wd purple unassigned disk. Thats working great. But i have worked with milestone way back, through my work. How is it performing in a vm? Do you passthrough a gfx?

I haven't tried to run a camera server off of Unraid yet, but I've thought about it (would like to at some point).  So, I have no experience but my first thought was also the Unassigned drives plugin.

I'm using Milestone with two Dahua 1080p cameras, with plans to add more in the future. Milestone seems to be running fine, and I have no issues viewing the feeds via the software or the mobile app on wifi. On cell service the quality drops, but that is to be expected. I haven't passed through a GPU, but I'm not totally against the idea. I recall that it helps with the video rendering, but I don't know if its worth it for only two cameras. About the only complaint is that it generats a ton of video footage, as I record 24/7.

I just finished setting this up, and that's the way I decided to go. Seems to be working great. Just gave the disk a name of 'security' and shared out the whole thing.
