Mac Storage

DANGER

When creating a NVR Recordings folder on macOS, the folder name must end with .noindex. This prevents macOS Spotlight from indexing the folder. Spotlight's indexing of NVR Recordings will cause system instability and crashes. For example, if the NVR Recordings folder is currently /Volumes/MyExternalDrive/scrypted-nvr, rename it to /Volumes/MyExternalDrive/scrypted-nvr.noindex and then update the setting in the NVR plugin.

Alternatively, add the drive or folder to the Search Privacy list in macOS Spotlight settings.

1. The storage disk must be formatted as APFS.
2. The recordings storage directory can be configured within the Scrypted NVR Plugin Settings. Multiple Storage Devices can also be added.
3. Continue on to Enable Camera Recording.
