NAS Attaches some Storage to a Network or more descriptively shares
regions of a storage device on the network. On Linux this is usually
done by the Samba software which provides the Microsoft SMB interface to
share disk partitions or directories. Have a look at Samba. If you
install it on your laptop and share your USB drive you should have a
usable NAS.<br><br></div>I personally am wary of sharing things over the
Internet (like your camera stream) It probably has to go via some
proprietory server associated with the camera manufacturer. Your
configurations to keep this secure are a whole order of magnitude more
complicated than a basic LAN.<br><br></div>There are others in the lug

means you have a lot to learn to get where you want to be, or maybe
they're just too busy. Have a look at Samba but bear in mind that you
have to keep everything secure. You might be better off installing a
