Hi Mattivdp,
Welcome to the Community!
The Milestone Arcus has been discontinued already on our ReadyNAS devices. Currently, we do not have any surveillance app that you can use on the ReadyNAS units.
An alternative for this is to use a 3rd party surveillance application and host in on a PC, then set the NAS as the storage repository. You may wait for the other Community members on what 3rd party surveillance apps they use. I believe some users here use Blue Iris for the app.
Regards,
I use and am very happy with Blue Iris -- https://blueirissoftware.com. It is very full featured and quite reasonably priced. I'm still using V4, but expect to upgrade soon. I sent a thief to prison for 39 months based on my footage. I just had to give a copy to his lawyer, and he wanted to plea bargain.
I used to use an older Core2 Quad computer with Win10 and 1TB of internal storage with the NAS as the backup storage location (using the built-in backup, not a separate backup program). I would still be using that computer except that it failed and instead of trying to replace it, I got a rack-mount dual hexa-core Xeon computer that is way overkill for just surveillance and also use it for other applications. I have 5 ONVIF cameras of various makes and even used the webcam of a laptop as a camera (and got a great video of the guy about to steal it).
I personally don't see the advantage of running a surveillance program on a headless NAS when a PC with a monitor is far better for it and there are so many options there.
Not many cameras still have FTP capability, but that used to be another way to utilize a NAS for surveillance storage.
yes i know but i dont want another device running all day i already have +7500KW/ hr a year so :-)
Maybe an option of running app on my shield . (android tv os )There are surveillance apps for generic Linux available, but I don't know which ones can run headless.
Running a surveillance program on anything without local storage is a bad plan.
