Why my NVR or camera network settings are not showing DROPBOX or gDrive

[lalamax3d]

Hi. i have recently purchased
HIKVISION IP Camera 8 MP 4K IR Fixed Bullet Network
Camera IP67, 30 MTR IR
DS-2CD2083G2-I
DS-7608NI-K1

My intention was to take an image after interval ( 1 min ) and upload to dropbox. when i see documentation, my settings are different. Just wanted to know reason.? i can only see cloud1 and cloud 2. all docs and videos on youtube (in last year) shows dropbox option etc.
Also i have selfhosted nextcloud instance etc.
Q2. Can i upload to my NC via webdav or rclone etc?
i am in Asia (Pakistan). Can this be the reason.? Any other ideas

Hi @lalamax3d

In regards to the first question, have you tried logging into the NVR with Internet Explorer? The older software on the K-series NVRs is not fully supported by modern browsers like Firefox or Chrome and so some features/menus can be missing when accessed with these browsers.

For the 2nd question, we have never heard of webdav or rclone so wouldn't be able to advise if these can be used with the Hikvision software.

Hi Dan, thanks for response. really helps, going to try in explorer today and will confirm (shortly).
webdav is almost like ftp protocol, rclone is really magical cmd line tool in linux to copy files between remote servers by creating simple configs etc.
huge thanks again, will keep you posted. have a good day.
