will this camera connect directly to a NAS ( i have a Synology NAS)

Yes it will. I'm not sure about brand of nas. For me, I have it connected to a Windows smb file share and it works great. It can be connected to smb, nfs and ftp for remote storage.

Which NAS? If a Synology, you can use the built-in Surveillance Station software for recording. Beyond recording software, all you need are cat6 cables.

Yes. A quick look at the specifications page for the DS212J http://www.synology.com/products/spec.php?product_name=DS212j&lang=us#p_submenu shows this: Supported RAID Type Synology Hybrid RAID Basic JBOD RAID 0 RAID 1

With Synology you could use the Foscam profile, which will work without zoom support. Blue Iris software would be a better choice for recording with a direct support for this camera or alikes.

From what I have read it should. I have the Sony media running on it now. Sorry I haven't had the nas type on it yet.

Yes. The system ships with 1 free license (2 depending on your software version) while additional licenses can be purchased from Amazon and others. Generally, most reviewers have complained about the high cost of adding more than 1 camera to the Synology NAS. I would not recommend Synology if cost is a concern. At the time of this review, a single camera license costs around $50. The camera cost is additional, this is a S/W activation license for the Synology NAS only.

According to their compatible drive list, it can easily handle them.https://www.synology.com/en-us/compatibility/hd/DS713+

I don't think so but I have never worked with NAS. I use 2 ea 4TB external hard drives. It has two USB 2.0 ports for inputs. The DOS is rather old style and clunky. I can't see anything in the menu for anything but playing files from a HD. I would buy a better device than this one if I need to replace it.

With a little know how and Linux, YES. http://www.anandtech.com/show/8399/recovering-data-from-a-failed-synology-nas

Yes, it can support Synology and its Surveillance System, it ip camera is OEM of Grandstream, so you can select "Grandstream" from the Synology supported camera list. Thank you very much. Fosfun

What you would most likely do is use the Synology NAS as your media repository, then use the DS Video app on your iDevice. The DS Video app would connect to the AppleTV via AirPlay. The same could be said for the DS Audio app and AirPlay. Go for it! Just make sure you backup your files since this is a single drive unit.

Check out the manufacturer's website, synology.com. It already lists a 5 TB Seagate NAS drive as compatible.

Yes you can. You connect to your Synology box via network as usual and the USB drive will appear as folder named 'usbshare1'. Once USB drive is connected, it mounted and shared automatically by the Synology.

Works with Synology NAS if they are on the same network and appropriate permissions are set.

Huacam is NOT on the Synology supported camera list. [See https://www.synology.com/en-us/compatibility/camera] And, even though I believe that it could work with their system, I would not get it until Synology supports it.

While I suspect that a wide variety of NAS/NVR would work, I used Dahua's NVR 8 channel with POE for 4 of these cameras.I added a Western Digital 4 TB Green SATA III 5400 RMP WD40EZRX hard drive and the cameras are plug and play.These cameras are fantastic and you can connect them individually to a network but with the Dahua NVR I used,plugging the camera into the poe port bypasses the individual camera setup process. The NVR also alloweda single pinhole in my internet gateway to provide viewing all of the cameras on my android phone--anywhere.

Yes. I use mine with a Synology NAS, but in general Dahua is onvif compliant.
