ReadyNas Surveillance: App Download
My trusty Netgear ReadyNas RN102 let me down after 6 years of faultless performance with a BTRFS error which meant I had to perform a full factory reset.
It's now back up and running, yet there is one letdown. I've used the ReadyNas Surveillance app on this server for several years (single license) and when I looked to reinstall the app so I can continue to record my CCTV footage....it's no longer available within the Apps area
and to make things even worse, it's not possible to download the .deb file and install it manually.
Where is it? I need that app to record my footage and I'm slightly disgusted that it's not at least available to registered owners who can utilise it
Please assist. netgear
AFAIK, the only way to install it on a factory defaulted machine is via SSH with apt-get install surveillance.
Note that there are known security issues with it.

Why don't you use a dedicated device to record the footage from your CCTV system ? I think it's called a DVR.
breereeb Why the condescending response?
DVR is uses analogue technology. Which is why I have 2 NVR 's (This ReadyNas and an Asustor) which can record using an IP Camera, supplied by my managed PoE switch.

Sandshark Many thanks. I will look into the SSH option, didn't know I could do that to install the app.
I am aware of the security issue, but it will be within a closed network, so I would hope I am well protected by the layers (H/w and S/w) that I have on my network and I'm not allowing access to the internet for this.
SSH worked . Thanks Sandshark
