Video Cameras For Home That Work With Nas

I work mostly from home and spend much of the day on video calls. After using laptop cameras for years I needed to improve my conferencing setup and this camera while pretty basic is perfect for that use at a very reasonable cost.

I have owned Synology Products for many years. Recently a very old 2 drive unit (could be 216) stopped working. I was not surprised because the home was hit by lightning and the damage was in the thousands of dollars to many of the electronics in the home. I was very concerned that my 15 licenses would no longer be useable as the nas was hit by the lightning strike. In addition, the nas had been working at nearly 100% for the previous 4 years as it was literaly being overwhelmed by the cameras. The new Nas running 16 cameras uses about 24% of the resources. As a file server, the reason I purchased a second one of these units, it is holding 25 years of memeries once stored in about 40 hard drives. I love rthe product and most importantly, I TRUST the product

I really like the Synology NAS! Setup was easy, I just watched a YouTube video and I was set. It appeared on my home network and I was able to begin copying files to it right away. Pro tip: Assign an IP address to the MAC address in your home router so it has the same IP address for the rest of its life.

I own three of these for my NAS and they work like champs.

I'm an electrical engineer and work from home and this fit my need s perfectly. I have two networks, one secure network for business and the other for home. This NAS has 4 NICs (2x 10Gbe) and (2x2.5Gbe) which would allow me to manage the NAS for 4 independent networks. I configured it with (5) 4 TB drives configured for RAID 5 and I opted to install two 512 GB Samsung 970 Pro NVMe M.2 512 GB SSDs configured to operate as a cache for the RAID system.

Bought two of these for my at home NAS, works great!

I have a number of these for 24/7 NAS and archival storage of video. As long as you keep them cool they work well -- which isn't to say you shouldn't still be doing backups.

I have three of these drives in my Synology NAS, and they seem to work just fine. I store my video footage on these. Pricey? Yes. But my video work pays for my house, so I have to have reliable gear.

These work nicely in our NAS.

They work well with Synology NAS!
