XPEnology installed nice and easily. Now have the fun of messing around with discs to get all the files into the system | |

I'm using surveillance station, got fed up trying to get it to record to a share, didn't manage to get that working at all. | |

quote: Most of the time it's fine after a power cut but it's the handful of occasions where it'll not record for an hour or two, or do what it did the last time and not record anything from all the cameras for a day*, that's the problem. But i'm not running the latest version 5 of Synology OS (rather 4.3) nor the recent update for Surveillance Station and as i said, i think if i switch it all to Continuous Mode (and get it to dump a file every 5/10 minutes) then it'll be ok. Tbf, i really need to spend a day peeing around with it again. Btw, are you dumping to a NFS/FTP/SMB partition straight from the cameras or are you using Surveillance Station (in Continuous Mode) for the recordings? * There was a gap of around 24/25 hours in the recordings, so i guess some service didn't start correctly until the following day where it started dumping recordings again. Pop - Nas storage presents itself as a network drive (similar to other drives) on your computer. So as Willay says, you'd just copy the file via the network drive. [Edited on 17-09-2014 by Dom] | |

For those of you that use Synology products; if you wanted to upload a video file from a laptop to the NAS, would you do this via USB? | |

Don't think I've ever had a power cut while running it so haven't seen that problem yet. | |

quote: Generally it works fine but i've noticed whenever i have a power failure/power cut it can drop recordings - last time it happened, it missed a whole day. But this is on 4.2 and not 5 (suppose to be a load of fixes) and i'm running it purely on motion sensing (which still needs a massive amount of tweaking as i have a load of false positives). I suspect if i switch it to continuous mode it'll be ok, that and using a UPS with it which wouldn't be a bad thing anyway (plus i could get it to power my IP cameras). Only other issue i have is to do with the scheduler and bandwidth limiting (specifics times of the day limit speed etc) which i use for backups to another server, it seems to have a mind of its own. Otherwise the setup is pretty reliable. Do realise this is XPEnology (on a HP Microserver), so the issues i have may be specific to that and not official Synology devices/hardware. | |

What are the problems of the CCTV side as thats one of the important bits | |

Ah I see - gotcha - Is that 4.2 or the newer 5? | |

Not hacked as such, just running the synology OS on non synology hardware. | |

I don't know about you, but once I've setup RAIDZ2, Samba, and Plex, the box runs itself. :lol: | |

FreeNAS is an intersting one. I looked at it years ago when it was first becoming mainstream. | |

The hacked synology thing works pretty well, depending on how much setup you can be annoyed with. | |

This has Synology written all over it, inc CCTV capture. | |

As part of converting my converting my garage I a looking to get rid of my home server which runs in there in favour from a little nas I can run in the office. |
