I think what the vendors should do is have a sliding scale of camera licences built in depending on the model bought Basic model = 1 licence free Mid range model = 5 licences free Top of the range models = 10 licences free If you need any more, only then pay for the extra licences If I...

Yes, got it running on my spare DS209+II Love the new Video Station It automatically creates thumbnails and descriptions

If you are connecting the Laptops using wireless, this will be the limiting factor for your overall speed Even wireless 'n' cannot match a 100mbit wired connection, which can only run at 12.5Megabytes/sec, whereas Gigabit can theoretically reach 125Megabytes/sec Both the NAS's you mention...

All the Synology models use the same 'software', so all the features are the same on all their models This means that you just need to decide how much storage space you want and choose the relevant size of the unit along with the performance As probably you know from your own searches, each...

Low power consumption is a must, removable lockable drive bays, and twin LAN connections with link aggregation I'm intrigued by:- Set Top Box software (do you intend to have dual TV tuners, and if so, would they be available in different configurations like satellite DVB-S or terrestrial...

You may be completely legitimate, but your web site is using Synology's logos and their name in your product, which does infer that you are connected to Synology in some way Your Username on this forum is also in the same style that Synology staff use when replying to forum posts I can see...

As you have an off-site backup, then I think your are sorted I've never used time machine as I never get rid of files, and don't care about files changes, but in a work environment, I can see the advantages of this to recover previous versions or deleted files

Are you looking for an all in one consumer ready built NAS that comply to your specs? If you are, then the choice is very small Almost all ready built NAS's come with a flavour of Linux and come with all the pre-installed software that the particular vendor supports at that time, and are ready...

I had the same with my DS209+II and I contacted Synology support who recommended an RMA as it was still under warranty I then received a new 209+II Make a backup of your data as soon as you can, because mine eventually stopped working completely

I had the same kind of noise with my DS1010+ Does the noise disappear if you lift it off the table/shelf that it is on and hold it in the air? If it does try my suggestion below:- From what I could gather, the 'rubber' feet may be made from a fairly hard substance and it allows the...

I've seen the Synology DS111 for the about the same price as the Qnap TS-112 The DS111 is a higher spec than both the DS110j and the TS-112 It has a 1.6Ghz CPU (Marvell Kirkwood mv6282) and 256MB RAM Just another option for you to think about @normlan The link you have posted contains some...

1. I don't think you can 'team' two different makes of NIC for Link Aggregation, they need to be the same make unless there is some special piece of software that I haven't heard about 2. Yes the Pro/1000 PT can be an option - I have the same NIC in my workstation 3. I would assume so...
