There are two methods: 1.Using Synology’s built-in surveillance station. Note in this way, you could have Synology record all-day, by schedule, or by motion detection. With motion detection, you can have Synology to record using the camera’s own algorithm or using Synology’s algorithm. Below is the fundamental setup: Make sure the camera is set to H.264 and the username and password you entered is the camera’s ONVIF username/password, which is set at Network-Advanced Settings-Integration Protocol. 2. Recording as NetHDD Please enable the NFS protocol for your NAS. Then please go to Shared Folder to create a folder dedicated for recording and setup the name and location. It is NOT recommended to set […]

My auto tracking camera doesn’t track when ONVIF is enabled
This is usually because the NVR that the camera was connected to is sending other preset commands to the camera. You will see a list of users for the camera under Configuration-System-User Management if you have the camera added to more than 1 client. The “user operation time” is the last time the NVR sends the commands. Note for ONVIF, there is a process of preset matching between the camera and NVR (you will see that in the log if you are familiar with Blue Iris). Some NVR will override or interrupt the presets set in the camera, so if you encounter this, set the ONVIF user as media and only […]
How to record to videos to TF card for Sunba Illuminati cameras?
1.Make sure the TF card is recognized by the camera and in “normal” status. If it shows error, please format to initialize the card. 2. If you want to enable motion detection recording (including line cross, intrusion and regular motion detection), please go to Events-Basic Events and enable motion detection. PS: For motion detection, it is suggested to go to “EXPERT MODE” under the dropdown list next to Configuration to modify the parameter in order to define the minimum percentage of detection objects. This is to avoid false motion alarms on flies or tree movements. The percentage setting only applies for regular motion detection. And then under Linkage Method, please select “trigger […]
Tips for optimizing the auto tracking performance
Before mounting the Illuminati camera outside, there are few installation tips to consider to optimize the tracking performance. The accuracy rate of auto tracking is great involved with installation location, ambient light (such as backlight) and so on. In order to ensure the better effect, Sunba proposes some installation and setup suggestions as follows: 1.Ratio of detection object size to image size To recognize small moving objects, you will need to turn up the tracking sensitivity. However, this would usually result in false trigger of other equivalently smaller moving objects. We recommend adjusting the zoom level of the camera to ensure the moving object is at least 180 x […]
Sunba Illuminati NetHDD Requirement
To record videos of Sunba Illuminati to NAS (NetHDD), there are a few prerequisites: 1.The NAS must be able to set individual volume to the camera. You cannot set an individual shared folder for the camera, and set as the storage path as the NetHDD would not successfully initialize/formatted (it will revert back to uninitialized status). The NAS must have the ability to create multiple volumes. In short, you need to create a separate partition on the Net Disk for the camera. 2.Each camera should use an exclusive volume. Two cameras cannot share the same volume. Here is an example for Synology: https://sunbatech.com//faq/how-to-get-synology-nas-to-record-sunba-illuminati-ip-camera/
