Feb 14, 2014licence for RN104
Hello all,
I have a simple question..... Where to buy a license key for ReadyNAS Surveillance RN104 ( and what is aprox. the cost). I tried Netgear Holland and Netgear Holland support but all they gave me was a netgear supported supplier. Those suppliers sell only to companies.
Thanks in advance, Bolliebol

You should be able to order any of the license above from your local ecomm site.
http://www.netgear.com/business/product ... -techspecs - BrannorGuideCan I ask why it takes several days and a form requesting our personal and hardware info to get a license?
Of all the software I've ever purchased in my 20+ years of computing have I never come across such a complex system.
Thankfully I decided early to get the license so still have trial time to use up while I bang my head on the desk. :P
-G - BrannorGuideGuys... what's up with this?
Trying to order a license in Australia and I just got this:
--------------------------------
I have had a look for you and unfortunately your order is currently on back order with an ETA of 25/11/14.
--------------------------------
How is that possible? Clearly somewhere, someone doesn't want to have me use your software...
-G - mdgm-ntgrNETGEAR Employee RetiredI have asked one of our local sales team down here for advice on this.
- BrannorGuideThanks mdgm,
I suspect the agent I am talking to, or his company, to be the problem.
-G - BrannorGuideFor those in Aus, I tried Megabuy and ITSpot (Same company/staff) and got nowhere after 2 different orders.
I then contacted NetgearForLess and bought the license (albeit a bit more expensive than local pricing) from them. Got my license within 3 business days (US time).
-G - zerd74AspirantDon't waste your money. Surveillance on Series 100 ReadyNAS is utterly useless - no scheduled recording, no motion detection triggered recording. All it will do is record all or nothing - you'll need huge discspace to gather the video and endless time to find any events.

Perhaps, depends on your cameras. I am using HikVisions that have the motion detection built in, as well as scheduling, etc. The NAS records everything as I tell the cameras to, and it also logs events as the cameras tell it. So when I want to check events, I just go to the Playback option and can check any camera's events.
Perfect config for me.
What cameras are you using that don't have these features at the front-end?
-G - zerd74AspirantI'm using Hikvisions with built-in motion detection and scheduling with an RN102. I have a DS-2CD2332-I with 3 areas with differing sensitivities setup but Surveillance only detects an event for the first area on the list. Compared to Hikvision's iVMS-4200 PCNVR, Series 100 Surveillance is juvenile. I have to watch the entire 24/7 recording to see what's happened in areas beyond the first but I have another life so don't have the time !.

Strange, picks up motion on my cameras just fine... you sure you have your event stuff setup properly?
