ReadyNas 3138 as both a DLNA server and surveillance NVR

Question

Hey there.&nbsp; I'm planning on using a RN3138 as a DLNA server for a new home installation.&nbsp; They will also be installing about 4 or 5 network surveillance cameras.&nbsp;&nbsp;Is is possible to use a single readynas for both applications in one box?&nbsp; Or should I use a seperate NAS for DLNA and Surveillance?&nbsp;Thanks in advance.

I think you can get away with one NAS, perhaps with a separate volume for surveillance.
&nbsp;
Are the cameras recording 24x7, or are they only recording when they detect motion (or other activity)?

Thanks!&nbsp; Most likely I'll set the cameras up to record on motion.&nbsp;&nbsp;

In that case there should be no problem with performance, even if they share the same data volume.

Thank you for the info. &nbsp;I've used this NAS before, but just as a file server. &nbsp;Works great. &nbsp;&nbsp;However, I wasn't sure about running multiple apps.&nbsp;Thanks again for the quick responses :)&nbsp;
