Would using the ReadyNAS 214 be overkill for use as a video security recorder?

If anything it might be a little on the light side for video recording from cameras. It really depends on how many camera's, How large the processor and Ram are in the Ready NAS and how much storage you need for those recordings. Example the RN214 has Marvell quad core processor 1.4 GHz with 2 gig of Ram.... The 422 (same number of bays but build for this type of thing) has a Intel Atom C338 Dual Core with 2Gig DDR Ram. This unit would be more compatible with Onvif type cameras and would support our newest software for NVR systems Milestone Arcus.
