# The Components View

In the Component View, you can manage the following components:

- File Servers that are used to store video recordings.
- Smart Data Sources (license required) from which you can read transaction data, e.g. from POS systems or license plate recognition systems.
- MxThinClients, which allow you to display live images from MOBOTIX cameras on a monitor or TV set with HDMI connection.

File Server Settings

Stored images can be accessed in two ways: Access via the camera or directly to a file server where the recordings are stored. If access is to be direct, you can create recording paths here that can be assigned to the cameras. (See Camera Configuration).

Name
Enter a name for the file server here. Use this name to select the path in the Camera Configuration dialog as recording path.

Type

- Local
  Contains a local folder on this computer or on a connected network drive. You can either enter the folder path manually, drag&drop a folder to the text box or select the folder.
- Network Share
  The program directly accesses a shared folder on a file server. In this case, you need to enter the computer, the folder and the access data.
- MOBOTIX NAS
  Data is accessed directly on a shared folder on a MOBOTIX NAS.
- MOBOTIX NAS (ONVIF)
  The ONVIF recordings are accessed by Videomanagement Software QVR Pro which must be installed on a MOBOTIX NAS.

### Local

Contains a local folder on this computer or on a connected network drive. You can either enter the folder path manually, drag&drop a folder to the text box or select the folder.

Path: you must select the path that contains the recording folders created by the camera.

### Network Share

The program directly accesses a shared folder on a file server. In this case, you need to enter the computer, the folder and the access data.

- File Server (IP): IP address or DNS name of the file server with the share.
- Directory: Name of the share on the file server.
  Important:
  Make sure that the path ends before the folder containing the factory IP address of the camera.
- User Name/Password: Access data for the network share.

### MOBOTIX NAS

Data is accessed directly on a shared folder on a MOBOTIX NAS.

- File Server (IP): IP address or DNS name and port of the MOBOTIX NAS.
- Directory: Name of the share on the MOBOTIX NAS.
  Important:
  Make sure that the path ends before the folder containing the factory IP address of the camera.
- User Name/Password: Access data for the MOBOTIX NAS.

### MOBOTIX NAS (ONVIF)

The ONVIF recordings are accessed by Videomanagement Software QVR Pro which must be installed on a MOBOTIX NAS.

Fig. 33: MOBOTIX NAS settings

- File Server (IP): IP address or DNS name of the file server.
- User Name/Password: Access data for the file server.
- Use Expert settings ( ONVIF access): If special access data are required for ONVIF access, enter them here.
