Hello everyone. Would this software support a NAS? Thank you in advance for your reply.

Depends on how you define "support a NAS". The software requires running on a Windows machine but can easily write the data files to a NAS device. If you are asking if the software would run on a NAS device that really depends on the device. A NAS device generally does not have a Windows OS, now if you have a device running WHS you might be able to get away with it. Although personally I would recommend a dedicated machine to run Blue Iris depending on how many cameras you want to run BI can use a lot of resources.

Hi Carlos, I use an usb external HDD (1T) as storage, never try with nas, for me is an awesome software , I have 4 cameras continually recording.

I believe the nas would have to be setup as storage space available to the host windows machine running this software.

I dont believe this enclosure is meant to be use as NAS. It can be configured while connoted to a computer.

NO.I've tried this configuration as well and realized that NAS only recognizes the first HD in bay. Could not find any workaround for that so, I decided go for a 4 bay NAS storage. Currently I use this NAS as printer server only.

I have 2 units In 2 locations. One is used with a WD Mycloud 6tb drive. The other with a 4tb Seagate cloud drive. I copy to them and back them up us a NAS. I stream from them using the built in DLNA server. They work great for me.

No, it can work in as standard desktop drive. Being designed for NAS though means it will tolerate being in close proximity to a lot of other disks, for both heat dispersion and resistance to vibrations caused by the other drives. You may be able to get a drive that has better overall performance and a larger cache in a non-NAS version for the same or lower price.

As others have mentioned, it won't record directly to a NAS, however, you can specify an FTP server to upload recordings to. So in my case, I have a machine in my network that I've configured an FTP server on. The NVR will upload the recordings to my local FTP, which in turn I have set to copy the recordings to a cloud service like Dropbox or OneDrive. Works great so far.

So far I only see compatibility with Windows and Apple operating systems, that's with the Buffalo NAS Navigator software. You might need to contact Buffalo tech support. I am sure there is a way to make it work, because at the end of the day its a storage drive. ;)

I wasn't able to connect it to NAS; it was confirmed by Panasonic that the unit sold in North America does not have the DLNA support needed to connect to NAS. The same model sold in Europe is ok, I guess this is one of the reasons the price is less expensive in North America.

Yes. I did exactly that when I purchased my Synology NAS. The BlackArmor NAS was a piece of crap, but the drives are fine and the Syno. NAS will play well with them.

This is a set it and forget it NAS. Needs not be re-imaged. And for the price you will pay for this unit, you are better off buying a used case, sticking 4 4TB drives in it and getting a USB flash drive and calling it a night. Thats what I did using Synology's free version of their NAS and sofar its working great. Over 150 days up. I sold this unit last year with over two years of trouble free service. The only reason I sold it was because it was too small for my growing needs. So to answer your question. Not sure. But its also not needed.

I use it into a NAS as it is designed to run 24/2h every day. But it should work into a desktop, provided this desktop runs an operating system able to handle 4 Giga bytes disc drive. But in such conditions it is perhaps a bit luxuous to use such a powerfull device.

The software is not very good, how the files are displayed on the TV is not very good either. The software locks up if you have too many shared folders or too many files. Fast forward does not appear to work. I live with the limitations because I don't have to buy a media server just yet. Check Sagetv for a real media streamer, i hear they work well.No NAS yet, but a usb external disk should work just like a usb flash drive.Like Raybert says, it's not ready. But it is free.

Yes, but since its optimized for NAS, it will be somewhat slower than a desktop optimized drive.

If your Synology NAS can use rsync, it looks to be absolutely doable. But I of course don't have a Synology to test this.

The NAS adapter will only recognize drives that are formatted as FAT. Most likely your drives are NTFS (for 2TB). But, if you had 4 USB sticks connected to a hub, you may be ok.

I get better than that with my 212j. This has a slightly faster processor but still not a dual-core. There's a list of processors here: http://forum.synology.com/wiki/index.php/What_kind_of_CPU_does_my_NAS_have

I used a Synology ds 1513. But i think qnap and most others will support this camera. Just check the campatibity in the nas documentation.
