I am trying to setup Readynas Surveillance on my Readynas 104. I was able to install the app no problem but I am having issues in trying to get a license for 1 camera. How can I buy it or, alternatively, what are otehr license/software i can buy for my Readynas 104 to use a surveillance software?

Thank you

    No idea (I don't work for Netgear).

     

    Perhaps JohnCM_S or Marc_V could help.

     

    But I think you'd be better off getting a surveillance package that runs on a PC (but still storing the footage on the NAS).  Something like Blue Iris.  The RN100 series has the slowest processor and the least memory of all the OS-6 platforms, I think you'd get better results hosting the package on a more powerful platform.

    Netgear stopped offering ReadyNAS surveillance some ago (2017 I think).  There was a brief flirtation with Milestone Arcus, but that ended at the end of 2018.

     

    I don't know of any alternatives at the present time.

      Does this mean that there is no way to use the application anymore? Even if the 1 camera license was free?

        You might still be able to use the free license, but new licenses are no longer sold.  Also, Netgear is no longer supporting it. 

         

        There are some known security vulnerabilities.
