ReadyNAS Surveillance on ReadyNAS 104
Im using a ReadyNAS 104 and want to use it to record the streams of our surveillance cameras. Unfortunately the ReadyNAS Surveillance App does not support more than one camera and recording on motion which makes it completely useless for my purposes. Is it possible to purchase a license to get recording on motion working on a ReadyNAS 100 series or is it just not supported?
A little bit off topic, but I finally got the camera to record directly onto a ReadyNAS share. All I had to do was setting a quota for said share and eventually the formatting process worked. What the camera calls formatting is actually creating some binary index files and a bunch of zero byte hivXXXXX.mp4 files which get then slowly filled with the video data.

Hi TWfromSWD,
You can have at least 8 working and recording cameras in your system. Here are the product numbers RNNVR01L-10000S, RNNVR02L-10000S, RNNVR04L-10000S you can look at in adding more than more cameras in your system. Check this page for more information.
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,

Thanks for the fast reply. But the recordin when motion is detected is equally important for me. Is this also somehow possible with a ReadyNAS 104?

Hi TWfromSWD,
Sorry I missed to answer your question. The said functionality that you asked for is not supported by the 100 series or home ReadyNAS models. Take a look at ReadyNAS Surveillance datasheet for more information.
Hope this answers your question.
Kind regards,
