How can I save camera recording to network storage? Keep getting error "Can't write ..., no access to path!"

Configuration

Hi, I am trying to save a camera recording to a network storage. I did the setup in Settings → System → Storage:

Then in my automation I have the following"

But keep getting this error:

Can’t write \192.168.8.190\Recordings\Front_Door_20231116-093835.mp4, no access to path!

I can browse to that folder using explorer and username and password is correct and have writes to save

Thanks

Because you have mounted the drive - which is the whole point, since Home Assistant cannot natively access remote shares, your drive is mounted in /media/ with the name you gave it - so if you check what folders you can see on the network for Home Assistant, NOT the actual remote share - you should see that you have /media/Camera (case is important). So this would be the path you use /media/Camera/Front_Door_blah.mp4 (because you already set Camera to the Recordings folder)

Hi, Thanks for the reply! the automation is saving the file now to /media/Camera.

but when I look on the NAS (192.168.8.190/Recordings) i don’t see the file there? I only see the file in HA when using file browser.

Am I missing something?

Hi @keith1981king ,
I’m running into the same problem, I want to store my Reolink camera recordings to my Synology NAS (I created a storage in HA), but I’m also not able to do this. Did you solve this? If so, could you please post the YAML
