How do I use a NAS (Network Attached Storage) to store images?

e-Watch can use network storage for image archive, accessed either using a redirected drive letter or directly as a UNC name (\\server\folder). The only requirements are:

(1) e-Watch Service program, which runs as a service on the e-Watch server, must be logged on using a network username and password that has read/write permission on the network resource. This is easy to configure using the Windows Service Manager, but by default the service is logged on using the server's local System account.

(2) The IIS (Web Service) virtual directories (ewatchimages and ewatchretrievedimages) that point to the network resource must be connected as a network username and password that has read permission on the network resource. This is easy to configure using the Windows Internet Services Manager, but by default the virtual directory is connected using the server's local anonymous web access account (IUSR_COMPUTERNAME).
