I am trying to see if this works before buying any additional license
Netgear discontinued ReadyNAS Surveillance, so you should make sure you can still purchase additional licenses.
Netgear's track record on this isn't good. They replaced Surveillance with Milestone Arcus, but that didn't last long either. I suggest looking into other options (surveillance packages that run on a PC, which also support network storage of the video).
Thanks and I did not see the fact they EOL, the interesting part when I decided to play with it, it still shows up as an available app on the NAS as well as when installed it, it say a new verison was available which lead me to believe it was still an active product. I have been able to get my cam to record to the NAS once i set up an FTP server.
My personal recommendation is Blue Iris. Very reasonable cost with no silly per-camera licensing and excellent support. I run it on an older Core2 Quad small form factor PC I had "lyng around", but I imagine a current-generation micro-PC would do very well if you need to buy something.
Sandshark,
Thanks for the recommendation, I wonder if it would work on Parallels VPC since I run macs in my house, I am assuming you can have blue Iris record to a NAS verse the local HD it is running on.
I have Blue Iris record in real-time to the local hard drive and back up to the NAS.
